Cycling UK Forum

I preserve inbox messages by sending them to saved messages and, when that is full, copying them and storing them off-site. There is a warning when the inbox is full.

So two questions:

1. What happens when the Sent messages folder is full?
2. If I create a new folder, does that count towards my total allowable space?

Thank you.

1. I don't know.
2. I have created one additional folder. This has a capacity of 100 messages. The capacity in this folder is in addition to the 100 messages capacity in each of my standard folders. I do not know if there is a limit to the number of additional folders I can create.

1. I think (if I remember correctly) that any message above 100 displaces the oldest PM.

2. Each folder created can hold 100 messages, but there is a limit as to how many folders you can create (again if I remember correctly).

Exporting messages off the Forum is probably the best way of storing bulky folders.

I have extra folders. I don't know if staff get extra space, or what the limit is.

Sorry to go a bit off topic but this has prompted me to have a clear out. I don't take steps to preserve old PM's I just don't bother to delete them till I get a warning that there's no space. I had some dated 2012 and some of the PM subjects had become meaningless. All now gone to the great electronic shredder in the sky.

Thanks all for the replies. I've created a new folder and have exported the sent messages to that. I still find it curious though that you get warned about losing messages in Inbox but not in Sent folder.

Have you any similar wheezes for clearing garages and/or lofts at a stroke? That would be of infinitely more practical use to me

I need one for my cellar, too.

Thanks.
