Private messages meltdown

[Tormahto]

My inbox gets full (on one of my two memberships), with new messages then being on hold. In previous years, many messages were no longer important after reading and answering them. This year, the vast majority of messages are likely important, with people adding to their swap wish lists, there. I haven't had time, yet, to transfer them to their written correspondence. I currently have no time to go through, and delete, many of them.

My initial solution was to delete all messages from MissS (sorry ), knowing that if something important comes up, she will again contact me. That opened up just enough space for new messages on hold.

So, a few questions...

Can PM space be expanded to beyond 110 in number?

And, can I do a search of my inbox(es) of PMs by others' usernames? Searching through close to 200 PMs, not even knowing if the person I'm trying to contact has even sent a PM, has me a bit frazzled.

@Tormahto @Tormato You can add as many folders, with slightly different titles, as you would like by opening the Rules, folders & settings option in Private Messages.

Yeah, if you make new folders and fill them with messages, it'll let you fill up your inbox again. I did that for a long time, but eventually I just deleted them all when I got overwhelmed enough. I didn't want to have to hunt through who knows what folder for a specific message. So, maybe title your folders by user, for users who message you a lot.

Alternatively, for the future, you can enable the ability for people to email you and disable PMs.

Gosh @Tormato you didn't ask me about this first? I should have had my very own folder since the get go labeled 'how to work the forum'.
