<p>Does anyone else have problems keeping your pm box available? I am not a “superstar”, but my box is constantly filling up. How do other people handle this? I thought of this in relation to latetoschool. I can’t imagine how she keeps up.</p>
<p>You are just too popular :D.</p>
<p>Did you know that you can download your PMs and save in a text (or other) file, to clear it out completely?</p>
<p>Actually, I’ve been getting friendly email reminders from CC when my PM box is 95% full. When I get those, I just delete a bunch of PMs…I actually don’t get THAT many. Usually, I read and after I respond, I delete.</p>
<p>This has been a problem for me, mostly because I do want to answer each person - I truly think everyone who writes to me in PM deserves a response, at minimum a thank you, but, I simply have not been able to keep up with it. Today, I had treatment #7 of 14, followed by chemotherapy, and then came to my office to work. I literally just finished answering client email, even though I was working from my blackberry all through chemotherapy. So my PM box is a mess. </p>
<p>Perhaps the restrictions are good - it forces me to control the PM inbox before it just gets way out of control. </p>
<p>I think there is a way to redirect inbound PM to email instead, but I am not sure how it works…(???)</p>
<p>I get PMs that forward to my email, LTS, but they still show up in my PM box – so I still have to clean the thing. I download everything to one txt file – too much good advice to just hit delete!</p>
<p>I generally get emails letting me know when I have PMs, so I can save the emails and delete the PMs. I’m trying to figure out why one particular person’s PM’s don’t trigger an email, when everyone else’s does. (Actually, it mght be several people, now that I think about it.) And Thumper, I’ve never gotten a notice when mine is close to full.</p>
<p>You guys get PMs? Wow. Now I feel bad.:)</p>
<p>I delete all the incoming ones, but keep what I send, as I have no memory of reply content. Incoming I have in email. Regardless, is still full. If exchanging a series of messages with someone, I tend to try to go to email quickly to avoid filling the PM box. But then I think some see me as an internet stalker…not an image I care to project, so have stopped doing that. </p>
<p>I don’t get notices when mine is close to full either, though am usually well aware.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>So true! I also put it into a text file.</p>
<p>LTS, go under your control panel above, and find Options. There is a box to check to send PMs to your email. You need all those good wishes and perspectives many places in your life! I envision you supported by all that postive energy, immune from rules applying to many mortals.</p>
<p>Ok, I got a few PMs. Now I feel loved. Thanks.</p>
<p>^^LOL. I get about the right number. Enough so that I’ve learned how to clear out my box, not so many that it’s been onerous!</p>
