I was shocked to see "you have 1 message on hold bcs u have too many msgs"... but I only have 50. That's way too little. Please increase it to 10,000. Thanks

People actually use PMs, don't you guys have chat programs :P

That out of the way,
10,000 sounds problematic, if people use full length and messages that would be a lot of storage space.

But lets try 500 and instead of holding new messages back, deleting the oldest.

That should help make it more useable

You can always create an additional folder to safe messages.

If my memory serves right, you can create 4 folders, and the message limit is per folder not in total.

Oh my gosh, how did you know? Irl I'm real sm0l, and you can read in articles abt everything we go thru in daily life.
So, sometimes, I just stand on the street all of a sudden and look up at a tall building and I imagine... what if I was the size of that building... and I wave hi to myself from above
