Moving messages from PM inbox
 
Anyone know how to do this without losing the messages? I have 90% full but many important messages I don't want to delete and lose. I see an option for "Save as Text", but when I do that all I get is a zero byte PHP file that nothing will open. I linked it with FF but all I got was ... a blank page.

Any help appreciated. I opened new folders and transferred the files there, but that's still part of the PM box so doesn't help with the thing being overfull... :(

check under Documents and you should have a text file that says privatemessages with your username, todays date and you should be able to open it with notepad.

Hi DJ.
Thanks but no: I have two of those files but both are from 2012. Seems the conversion is not being made correctly, unless I'm doing something wrong?

Select messages/select save as text/ hit go?

In your In-Box, down at the bottom, there is an option to "Download all private messages as:", click the empty graphic just below that and save them to a csv file locally. Then you can empty your In-Box.

Hehe... in-box.
