Maybe this is the answer?

One way to "empty" the personal message box is by downloading Personal Messages via one of three ways (tiny print near bottom of PM page) - XML, CSV, or Text.

Because I have no idea what any of those are , I downloaded a group of messages all three ways.

Anyway -

For me to access these messages - on my computer, which is an iMac from 2014 -

I go to

Finder
Downloads
the "privatemessages" file - open the file - and scroll through the messages

Could someone explain what SML, CSV, and Text mean - and why one or the other would be a preferred way to save messages?
