PM Folder Management

Post by BobH »

When my private message folder fills up, the only option that seems to be available is to delete the messages. Is there another option?

It seems that the option to mark the messages one wishes to keep and the ability to archive them on one's own system should be available. I suppose one could copy them individually, but that seems to be a time consuming, laborious solution when a simpler one should be available.

Are there reasons why this is not offered?

In your user control panel, in the bit for PMs, look in the left hand side, there's an option for 'Rules, folders & settings'. If you click on that you'll find an option to create folders. Having done that you can move messages from your Inbox / Sent messages into your new folder(s).

I bet it wasn't as loud as the gig I was at the other night :grin:

More likely, someone singing and someone else playing a cello, either as solo performers or as part of ensembles?

Both were present, but as concert goers just like me. It was the first evening of a three-day chamber music festival here in Wageningen.
Best wishes,

'Tis the season for concerts. Someone I know is giving three recitals in Germany (but nowhere near the border with The Netherlands) at the moment.

No, it's a long way to go to hear (more or less) the same programme on three consecutive nights. We're supportive parents, but not that supportive :grin:

You don't want to be Stuck on the border.
