Actually, PA allows for storing 2,500 messages.
To operate the PMs, go to your USER CP and choose private messages.
Scroll all the way down to the lowest portion and you will see an editing option "select messages"
Above that and to the far right of each message is a check box. If you check the message then you can operate the selection and move or delete the pm.
Below all that is an option to download all of your messages in several ways. Downloading means you are making a copy of all the messages in your files and storing them somewhere. Best to do this on a laptop or tablet vs a phone. Once downloaded in a (text is what I use) you can use normal search options to search the downloaded file.
If there are messages in your PM files that you absolutely must save, best to create an additional folder in which to save those using the "move" option available.
But, best advice above is to get PA so you have more flexibility in handling PMs.
Happy Hobbying!
