Full Version: Private Messages quota
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Hi all,

I hope someone can help - one of my users is asking for more space for her mailbox as her private messages area is 98% full.

I have looked in the settings, the myBB docs and google'd for a solution but can not find anywhere to change the PM quota limit.

I know she could download past messages, but is there a way to expand what her mailbox can hold instead??

Many thanks.

message quota is a group setting. if you want to increase it for a single user then you have to
make a new group, allot more message quota & add the specific user to the new group

admin panel >> Users & Groups >> Groups >> specific group >> Edit User Group >> Users and Permissions
>> Private Messaging >> Message Quota

Blimey, that's well and truly buried deep in the system! LOL.

Thank you very much .m. - I never would have found that without help. This should be in the docs imo.

Cheers again!

No really. I mean, its just editing a group, and the group has different catagories. Suggestion, maybe you should make a list of Help Docs for things you don't remember later on. So say you forget, you just look at your docs and find how to do it, rather than making another Support thread. Great that you found it though Big Grin
