Forwarding PM to email

[creospace]

Just like the title says really is this possible at some stage? The new small size pm box would be managable if I could forward some pm's to my email for storage and reference.

I know i can send myself an email with the contents copy/pasted inside but to have the above would be better especially if it had a special subject heading that I can filter into a folder etc.

Cheers

You can download PM's in XML, TXT or XLShttp://ukbusinessforums.co.uk/forums/private.php?do=downloadpm&dowhat=txt

This is the best idea I have yet seen in this section. It would be even better if it did it automatically.

The most frustrating thing about using this forum is receiving those "xxxx has tried to send you a PM but failed because your inbox was full" type messages.

I know you can export them etc. but it is still far too easy to exceed your inbox limits on this forum and I would guess that some people may even have lost business as a result. If you don't believe me try posting a tender for printing or web design etc. Then go away for a couple of days.......

You can download PM'd as text files theres an option somewhere near the bottom of the PM page.

An 'enhanced' mailbox would be nice but I guess whatever you want Ozzy has to multiply it by potentially 5000 members or probably more realistically the number of active members which is around 1000 a week at the moment I think.

Hi Rob

As I mentioned I am aware that you can export them (and have used this option) but it does not help if your inbox fills up in between visits to this forum. This happened to me a couple of times when I was running the 'Share Dealing Challenge'

I agree that to scale up the inbox allowance would result in a major overhead for Ozzy. Perhaps a simpler option would be to simply forward the content of the PM with the "inbox full' message. i.e not store anything over the 30 limit but at least forward the content to the intended recipient.

What i was proposing wasn't to add capacity at all but the facility to send the message to my email address so it coudl then be deleted and is handled by my mail client.

Sorry yes or even better jsut send the pm content with the alert message just like the main forum.

The PM notifications should sent the PM content too, well they do on my vBulletin 3.6.0 forum.
