How do other grapes cope when their PM box fills up? Mine is nearly there, and it means deleting all the lovely messages I have been getting - is there a way of keeping some, but emptying the box?

OK RGN - in nice short words for my rapidly declining mental faculties, how do I download and in what format? Not sure about this part and remember trying a couple of times but failing miserably.

my box is constantly about 90-97% full cos of all the saved messages over the years.It's really hard to decide which ones to delete I really must write down addresses etc elsewhere....

You can tart by deleting 'sent '-cos you usually have your post included in a reply!

Click "private messages", then click where the arrow is pointing and save to a memorable location.

a Big Fat DELETE button...but then again I have [as a Mod] space for 1000 and delete them all every few months.
