Popcorn Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 I'm in a dilema about what to do with my almost full private messages inbox. Do I : *go for the easy option and delete the lot or *go through each and every one (which could take a while) and keep a selection of my favourites? Am I being too sentimental or are other people the same? I've created a Poll to find out what you lot do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kannie Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Erm, none of the above! Mine are still just sitting there, but then my inbox isn't full - maybe I just havent had as many as you! Same issue arises with emails though. I set up folders and archive most things - occasionally I want / need to look back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 I have the same quandry Gina my box is nearly 90% full now. In the past I have gone through and selectively deleted as there is some info in there I need to keep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicola H Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Well I voted for delete them once read...................I do this unless they contain addresses or things that I need to refer back to, but if you have to go back and read every pm it will take you ages..............I would start by deleting your oldest pm's, good luck Gina hope it doesn't take too long.

Mrs Frugal Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 My box is always 100% full and the oldest ones autodelete as new ones come in. I don't save any now. Not bragging, by the way ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cate in NZ Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 I was struggling with the same dilemma a little while back Gina, and deleting the oldest every so often to make space. Until we recieved a couple of PM's that were clearly for Imogen rather than me. She read them, then anxious that I wasn't to have access to her private messages she deleted them.... as well as everything else in my inbox At the time I'd had a lot of old messages that really could go, but 2 or 3 that I had been hanging on to deliberately. I was not a happy bunny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linda Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Move them all into your 'saved' box, and wait till your inbox is full again, then worry about it! You're speaking my language here, Shona! I like to keep my favourites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted September 28, 2006 Author Share Posted September 28, 2006 Or we just PM each other all the time ! Kate's not joking either I have already sifted through loads before and it took ages. I think this time I will keep ontop tof things and save the goodies as I go along. then I can just do a big delete, or as you say let the oldest ones drift off into cyber space never to be seen again... Annie - I have a few spares if you need any pming your way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
