Could you make it so there is a button or something to enable a option so when its enabled all messages in the inbox are in there for a certain ammount of time before deleting?
Or something to auto delete messages in inbox after a while =P

Automatically deleting Private Messages? That sounds dodgy... why would it be useful?

You can click on the top and delete 'em all?

I dont think this would be useful as it could delete something a user may want later..

Click Archive Messages, set the "Date Limitation," and check "yes" next to "Delete Archived Messages." You can use that to prune your PMs.

WDZ -
Make a script to upload all of the PM's into a .txt file so we can put it somewhere else and not stock up your HDD

Isn't that what the archive thingy is for?

I think that came out a bit wrong what i mean is:
Instead of each pm going to the HDD on the server (or mysql db) cant we have the option to download/upload it somewhere else on receiving the PM.

So its in the PM options and if you set it too mysql.db.com password = passowrd .... then it will upload it there.

Or

Set the servers password and let it upload it to the server and when someone sends a pm it adds it to the .txt file or whatever.

Or

Download it to your computer on receving a PM and delete it from the MYSQL DB and it wil read from the txt file.

I wouldn't want my mysql DB username and password sitting in this database...
It's not that I don't trust the administrators, but, I just don't feel safe, and probably more people feel the same too



PM suggestion: Add an InstaDelete™ feature in the PM inbox, so that you don't have to go to the trash can to fully delete your PMs

wtf, that's like insanely complicated...

A PM uses, on average, about 500 bytes of database space. That's nothing.
