 PM Archive, or how to put your inbox on a diet
Is your private message inbox looking bloated? Are you rapidly nearing the 100 PM limit? Are you just too attached to those messages to let them go?
Luckily for you, there is a built-in solution that is relatively quick and painless! It's called "Exporting". To export your PMs to a friendly text archive, start by opening your PM inbox. In the Menu, Messages section, click on the very last option, "Export Messages". Here you will find several options. I like to work on one folder at a time. For example, today I'm archiving messages sent to me. So in the first field, I choose "Inbox". I don't need anything more than a week old to be hanging around, so I change the date limitation to "Export messages older than" "7" days. I don't want to remove unread messages, but I do want to delete the ones that are being archived. Finally, I choose the text export option. I've found this to be most effective for my purposes. Then just click the Export button and wait for the messages to appear on screen! Copy all of it, then paste it to your text editor of choice (Word, Notepad, etc.) and save it to your hard drive. Now you have an easily-searchable archive of your private messages! If you need any help, as usual, I am available via PM to assist!

Yes and I just got off the phone with her and look what I can do now.
 Thanks Mari  Send me a bill or put it on my tab and when I get to meet you I'll do something nice in return.

Thanks mari for guilting me into clearing the crap out of my PM inbox.
Sometimes I think, it's just a simple thing I close my eyes and I realize all I really need Is a love I had, and the love I had to give Cause anything else there is – is insignificant In this tiny life. |

Well, mods get exceptions... but I do find it easier to breathe when it's below 25 in there!

You should see my Outlook folders  We will not discuss the external hard drive but I think it could be used in a Steven King movie  ETA: Driving me crazy here - - I know this artist - - can not think of name - - Anyone ? ? ![[Image: aeeb.jpg]](http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x271/jwatts2_99/Creature%20and%20Demons/aeeb.jpg)
