Default PM inbox limited space?

Is there a limited ammount of space in my PM inbox? It's filling up with evil plotting a long and enjoyable conversation, and I want to know if I'll need to delete old PMs to make room.

I don't know the answer, but I'm not exactly sure why you would want to keep all your old PMs. Sometimes if I log on and see like 4 PMs or something, then I'll check them and I've already seen them. But when I'm done with a PM, I usually get rid of it, as I have no reason for keeping it. I know that might just be because most of my PMs are avatar requests, but some are actual conversations. But anyway, probably there is a limit. Just curious, how many do you have now?

47, the most I've had was 50. I was wondering if that was the limit.

He's a titan, don't ask if we don't clear out our inboxes... Well my computer can't load it if the number is over 120. I'm quiet serious.

Don't worry, no normal person would keep all their PMs. If I kept all of my PMs then maybe I would have 499, but I don't see any reason to do so. Right now I have 10 PMs, and that might be the highest I've ever had. Most/all of them are requests, anyway.

The trick is to save the source html every once in a while, then clear out your in/outbox. Thats how I do it. Every 100 messages.

Is there any way to clear your PM inbox selectivly and quickly...if i want to save lets say 3 and get rid of ten without hitting them all one at a time?

It's all or nothing with the PM inbox. You can either empty it entirely or message by message.
