I should have sufficient capacity to receive PMs but does anyone know the whereabouts of the 'Trash Can'?

Looks like capacity is 100 mails. If you go to inbox and mark posts on the right hand side then scroll down and you can delete marked posts.

I think it is 50 in and 50 out. I hadn't reached such. That's why I asked about the 'Trash Can' which I can't find, in case that is what caused the alert.

I've managed a PM exchange with A N Other who's also received such an email. That A N Other is ignoring the email!

Maybe I have more as a moderator.

I think you may be missing the point of the question. Deleting private messages in the way that you describe is something I too can do, and I'd guess PinkDalek can as well. But his quote from the email message implies that there is a 'Trash Can' folder that deleted private messages go to, with a message only being fully got rid of by deleting it again, this time from the 'Trash Can' folder. But like PinkDalek, I cannot see such a folder...

My guess is that the default configuration of the phpBB software includes such a folder, but stooz has chosen a configuration option not to have it, and that it's an auto-generated email that fails to adapt to the changed configuration. It wouldn't be the first time that there's been such a failure to adapt - e.g. I've got the "Someone replies to a topic to which you are subscribed" notification option turned off and the "Someone creates a topic in a forum to which you are subscribed" notification option turned on - but if I subscribe to a forum, the software still tells me misleadingly "You have subscribed to be notified of new posts in this forum".

It looks to me as if the quota is 100 messages per folder?

At least my Inbox folder says "Folder is 14% full (14 out of 100 messages stored)"

Whilst my Sent folder says "older is 20% full (20 out of 100 messages stored)"

No sign of a Trash folder though

[chas49]

Also the Rules, Folders and Settings option appears to allow a rule to move messages to another folder when the quota is reached, or to delete oldest messages - which backs up my thought that it's 100 per folder or the Move to Archive rule would be a bit redundant

[melonfool]

Talking of which - I wonder if mods could please have larger quotas?

I've rarely PM'd anyone for fun, most of my PMs are for mod work - so if possible....

Many thanks for understanding my question and for confirming you too cannot find the 'Trash Can' (as well as your plausible explanation as to what might have happened)!

Yes, it looks like moderators are allowed up to 100 per folder (which does appear to be set far too low, based on what melonfool says later). Us mere mortals 50 per folder only - hard for mods to know the lower limit for us, without having a separate non-mod registration.

Ah, as you say - did not know that! Knew mine was 100, didn't know others were lower. Better have a clear out - now, where's that trash can....
