PM Messages - Is there a limit to what your PM box holds ?
« on: Saturday 03 August 13 17:53 BST (UK) »
Hi,

Does anyone know if there is a limit to how many pm's your message box holds ?

A few Rootschatters have tried to contact me lately and they get the message "Your Inbox is FULL" in RED"

The inbox was on page 3 so between 20 and 30 messages in there at the time.

Hi Erato,

Thought I would ask the question because this is the second time in recent times people have sent me the same message. I wouldn't have thought 20/30 would be a problem but will be interested in the answer.

Regards
Sandra

Added Oh crumbs I am nowhere near that figure Redroger. Thanks for your reply.

Can't be a combination of Inbox and Outbox either because the Outbox was only on page 3 - so again between 20 and 30.

I am sure that I have seen on here that sometimes it is because the person contacting you has not made enough posts - but I may be imagining it  ::)

Both had more than the required number of posts, although they were low 5 and 28. So it still should have worked ok.

Thanks for the reply Rosie.

Hi Sandra,

I have just sent you a test PM message, I was able to send it with no problems. Could you please let me know if you get a email notification from RootsChat to tell you of my test message.

Regards

Sarah :)

Hi Sarah,

Thank you. Yes, I received both messages - pm (test) and notification e-mail from thread.
