I had five messages stored in my inbox and got a mail that someone had tried to PM me but my inbox was full. How many PMs are we allowed to store? There's 31 in my outbox, I just noticed. So the qty. is cumulative of both in & out, I suppose?

Is it a set number of posts, or a set amount of bytes we can store?

Anywhere from -3 to -5 I believe is the maximum.

Check both the sent mail and the inbox, and set the drop down to "From the beginning". You've got a ton of messages that never got deleted, that just aren't showing up. Also, from the beginning doesn't actually go back to the beginning, just 1000 days or something, so go up to the url and change that number(I'm pretty sure it's 1000) and you might find even more hidden messages. You definitely have room for more than five or six. And remember, do this for both boxes. People forget about the sent mail.

That's all well and good, and thanks for the tip, but how many is the max alowed?

Sorry Chris, I just glanced at your initial post and didn't really read your question. I didn't know the answer anyway, but now we both do
