Important changes to the Private message system

We have updated the Private Message system for our site.

1. Now users can delete PMs from Outbox
   
   
2. Users when they delete PM from from Inbox won't affect the senders outbox and will still be accessible.
   
   
3. If you have lost your PM from Outbox due to the receiver deleting from Inbox is restored.

We are also working on 2 other features for the PM system:

• Users will be able to sort their PMs in different folders. So lets say you want to save certain PMs to a folder named "Important" or "Buddies" and may be "Spam".
  
  
• And also Star the important ones so that it's easy to understand. We would explore option of having multiple star colors also.

Please do share your feedback / suggestion related to PM message on this topic to make it even better.

Update 15 May 2021:

Now users can Star a particular PM which they feel is important. Also note Starred PM cannot be deleted unless they are Unstar so that you do not lose out important PMs accidentally.

Update 21 May 2021:

Now users can sort their PMs in different folders. So lets say you want to save certain PMs to a folder named "Important" or "Buddies" and may be "Spam".

Oh my God!

Thank you so much!

Grateful to the whole tech team for this

I do like the segregation idea

Due to contests and all you do need the entry PMs to be separate from regular ones and it will be helpful

These are great options Vijay. Especially starring messages. Sometimes when I'm emptying my inbox, I'll accidentally delete an important message. At least this way I can star it the moment I read it and know not to delete it.

Thank you Vijay sir. And I love that we can star it and sort the pms folders wise great job by you and team👏

Thank you so much for this, Vijay Sir! This will make life so easy for us!

Great changes, much appreciated!

I have a doubt. Some old pm isn't accessible (I am talking about 2 years or older pm) it shows error 404. Is it a tech issue?

Thank you Vijay Sir

These new features ll be definitely useful

This is indeed good, I have a small request for something else if ever it can be considered,..sometimes it happens that we type in caps letters if there's a feature added to just make it in small letters(lower-case letter) it will be of great help.

Thank You.
