I have occasion, occasionally, to send a Private Message to readers here.
I will often get a dialogue box stating that
"the recipients mail box is full and that an email has been sent advising them of such."
I will then get a message from the recipient stating that they have looked and it doesn't show any messages so it can't be full.
But it really is.
This may be correct in so far as the messages they have recieved over the last "x" days that they have "selected" in thier "user cp".
That's here, on the top RH of the page and looks like this,
PPRuNe Forums
user cp | register | member list | faq | search | forum Home | Logout
Click on "user cp" and go there;
Click on "Private Messages"
Click on "Show Messages" the options are shown as follows
Show Messages From:
last day,
last 2 days,
last 5 days,
last 10 days,
last 20 days,
last 30 days,
last 45 days,
last 60 days,
last 75 days,
last 100 days,
the last year,
the beginning.
Most people have this selected say for the "last 5 days".
It will therefore only show NEW messages recieved over the last "5" days, maybe none, notwithstanding that you may have dozens in your box from
way back before then, that you have forgotten about or have not deleted.
Select from "the beginning" and it will display
ALL the messages that have ever recieved since "the beginning" and have not deleted.
See, there will be a whole heap of them
Delete them all or however many you wish and you will then free up your mailbox for more. Capische?
Just remember, delete any messages after you recieve them, or copy them to another file if you need to save them, then delete them, it's just good housekeeping after all.
