Just curios, if anyone knows...

What happens to PM's in the inbox once it gets full? Is there an auto purge system? If so, does it just ditch some of the oldest PM's? How many?

Thanks. Trying to decide whether to save some of them.

good question. my "Savebox" has been over 100% full for some time, and all messages are still available. but i do not know if that would be the case for the "Inbox" or "Sent" folder.

The inbox loses its oldest posts. Mine started overflowing a couple of years ago. It currently has 14 pages and shows 100% full.

Thanks Tallyman. That's pretty much how I thought it worked. That should do fine. I don't need to actually save but a few, so that's perfect.
