I have 4 messages queued!

Doesn't seem to work that way, Scott. (Just tested it again, myself).

If the mailbox is full, a new email will result in the deletion of the oldest PM from the recipient's inbox, but doesn't remove it from the sender's outbox (as far as I can tell).
Thus, Frank still sees four messages o/s whereas I can only see two remaining, because the others have been "lost". (Happens quite a bit when I have a 15-20 PM blitz and don't tidy-up any important messages in time )

Any chance of increasing the mailbox size, please, if the mechanics cannot be altered?

Foul

But that was only 50 messages.... *snuffles*
Thank you for the increase, Scott!
(And good to have you back somewhat more "full time", too )

Yeah, I know I'm slow at the best of times.
Trouble with a lot of these is that I've kept 10-15 message threads relating to particular sales/deals which I'm loathe to clear out until things have been squared-off. Can become very easy to "lose" messages amongst these and have them chopped by the limit before I notice (or even without me noticing).
Guess I need to copy/paste those all into Word, or something. *shrugs* need a lazy/sleeping cougar avvy, instead...

i was just going to say that BTB. david what i do - i get a lot of PMs sometimes believe it or not (:D) and what i have started doing is, cos i get a copy via e-mail, i keep hold of that if i need it, in a "acaeum" box in my inbox and i delete the mail off the acaeum. thus doesnt cause any problems.

however i did notice the other day, that if i read my e-mail and not the acaeum mail, it sits in the senders outbox until i have done so.

this is obviously the problem you are having as you only "got 2 of frank's 4" .... ?

Yep; and around 200 others in the inbox, PM folder, etc.
(Plus will have to check the other thousand or so in the email spam folder, "just in case"... *sighs*).

aside: I have nearly a dozen "unread" PMs to various people in my outbox here that haven't yet been looked at... *nudges back*


Thanks, y'all!
