Title: My PM Inbox is 539.2% full
Post by: Belfong on Sun, 28 December 2014, 04:18:03
Wow, I didn't know there is a capacity limit to PM Inbox.
And I just noticed this warning.

I gotta delete those PMs. Didn't realise I had so many. Is this a bug or something or?

I didn't see this message anymore once I F5 a couple of times. I swear I wasn't dreaming!
Should have captured a screenshot!

Just curious, how many pages of PMs do you have?

There might have been an upper limit on the number of PMs you could keep at some stage.

Maybe there is still a calculation based on that now-obsolete figure.

Actually just 1 page. But I notice some of my PMs are filed away in different labels. At a glance, probably 18 pages or so. I doubt that's a lot. I should be doing major housekeeping anyway.

I'm curious if there is a limit to PM storage size.

There's not limit. ;)

there's no limit, but something wrote some dumb code somewhere (not us) that still gives you some kind of quota status. it's meaningless for our settings, but it's still there. just ignore it. eventually it will a piece of cruft that we get rid of.

Ah, you saved me lots of work!

Somehow I just remember that it was answered before.

Now...back to PMing. :))
