Had about 3 pages worth of inbox messages, but have had 4-5 pages full before without ever getting this message. Is the inbox folder size decreasing?

Why not just delete some of them. Do you really need them all??

I've taken screenshots of mine and put them in a folder on my computer. I keep them to look back on them in a few years Laughing A few of them were auto deleted before I could take pictures though Confused

The Inbox limit is 100 but because of glitches in the past, it could go over 100.
It's 50/page so you are over 100 right now if you have 3 pages.

The way things work is that if you get a new message and your Inbox is full, it delete the oldest message. Only one message though so if something glitches, it can go over 100 and over 100% full.

I could "fix" it for everyone but this seems rude as fixing it would mean taking you down to 100 messages max. Smile

If it bother you, do some clean up to get it at 100% or less.

Yes, it's 200 max messages for Premium Members but I didn't want to confuse the issue by putting that in the explanation.

Having just unexpectedly and unfortunately learned about this auto-delete (by losing some info I was trying to keep)

1) are deleted messages retrievable?

2) how can we export messages?

3) is this the same for the Savebox? mine now shows 113%

4) what keeps User1 from sending User2 repeated messages to have User2 lose messages in inbox?

1) No, deleted is gone
2) You cannot
3) Yes
4) Nothing but you can block (ignore) someone through their profile if they are harassing you and they can no longer PM you.

The PM system is not intended to be some permanent store.

If you are having some long ongoing conversation, it's best to to take it to direct personal contact via email.

I've received some good one-message content from numerous folks so its a shame its gone and that there isn't a way to export.

Will readjust actions accordingly. Thanks for clarification.

If you're inclined - would be helpful to have a notice on the inbox page stating this auto-delete. My prior conclusion was if it was full, it wouldn't accept new messages then sender would have to figure out other way to contact me. (kinda like a full voicemail box)

I will see if there is some easy way of doing a warning up there if your inbox is 90%+ full.

I looked at my Inbox and even mine, which is larger, doesn't go back very far into 2021.

I decided to double everyone's from now onward.
Everyone has 200 max now, with Premium Members having double that.
