I am wondering if you should keep your private messages or delete them. I seem to have trouble finding the one I want from a certain person. Example, looking back for address to monthly swap partner or secret pal. I decided to add the people to my buddy list. I then add a note like: Oct. Secret Pal and then add her real name and address there. Then I don't have to hunt it down. BUT, I still hesitate to delete messages. So.... How do you do it?

When you click on someone's screen name, their bio pops up. One of the lines is all to/all from. I click on this to get the messages we have exchanged. So I don't delete any of them.

np3 is correct :D
There really isn't any way of organizing them here, unless you copy and paste them somewhere on your computer :D

I have already had to start organizing mine...LOL! And I'm new! Mainly because there are a couple of folks that I message back and forth alot so it gets confusing. I try to go through them every other night or so and delete the ones that I don't need. Also, for birthdays and stuff....I put that info on my buddies list with their name, etc.

How do you find messages that you have received? I can find the ones I've sent... :( :oops: :oops:

Click on Private Messages and it should list the PM's that you have received. If not-the title of the page should be Private Messages (Inbox/Sent), click on Inbox.
