Private Messages

[Gloria E]

I now have 50 PM messages stored, taking up 10% of the folder. Can they be removed and if so, how? Or, perhaps they're removed automatically.

Go to your Private Messages.
Click 'Rules, folders and settings'.
You can create a new folder here for messages that you'd like to keep.
You can specify what happens when a folder is full:

As you can see, the oldest messages can be removed automatically, or moved to a custom folder, or PMs can be blocked until you delete some of them; the latter option is the default.

Please follow Hans' directions, but I thought 50 was the maximum. Did you mean 100% rather than 10% ?

If I understand you correctly, you mean that each message can't be deleted one at a time, only once the mailbox is full. Am I reading you right?

You can delete any message at any time by ticking the check box next to it, selecting 'Delete Marked' from the dropdown box below the check boxes and clicking Go.

Thanks Hans, for the clarification . I'll do that the next time I'm in there.

Update: all PM has been deleted.

It was set to Delete Oldest Messages and I left it that way.

OK, that's fine.
