  • I clear my PM box at random times. I don't get enough PMs anymore like I used to since I'm not active in the Wireless Trade Center forum. I got plenty of PMs there over the summer break.

    When I do get a full inbox, I clear my Sent messages first and then my inbox when it gets full. My sent box only has like 7 messages so far while my inbox has 8 times as much.

    I clear out my PMs every time my box gets around 90% full.

    It depends when that it because It depends on who PMs me and if we have a big conversation.

    Depends on the flow of time, though.
    When one of my friends sees my online, I get infected by a PM Virus! :D

    Anyways, my average received PM's in a day is 9. ;)

  • I don't receive much PM here, but at Sppf I never clean it (except sent items) even though I receive quite a few there.

  • Whenever my PM box is full.
    I hardly ever get PMs (though I get some advertisment PMs every now and then) and I tihnk I only had to clean it out a little once.
    Now my PM box is 92% full, so I'll have to soon, but I just hate deleting stuff ;;

    I don't clear out my PMs until it is 100% full. Yes, I mean 100% full. I don't get PMs anymore. That's what WLM is for.

  • When I'm bored... or when it's borderline full. Other PMs that say really short things like "Ya, added you to MSN" I just delete immediately.

  • Ah, I have two methods for clearing my box. It's basically a combination of the answers available so I had to choose "Other"

    Whenever a new PM arrives to my box, I reply it. And after that, if the PM was not of much importance in my opinion, it gets deleted, because I know I always need some space for more people's PMs.
    And, in case the PM was useful to me in some way, I leave it at the main folder (and sometimes, I send them to other folders I have created), once a certain time has passed, I run a checkout on all the folders to check the contents and if there're unuseful PMs, I delete them.

    I always try to have a 50% of my PM box clear (which by now is starting to fill up), I dont like to see too much mess...

  • I empty it when its completely full/2 from almost being completely full.
    Then, i empty them out as they come for the whole rest of the day pretty much, then let them build up again.
    I don't know why i wait so long to empty my PM, i always think i have an important one, and then delete it anyway.

  • oh man I haven't cleaned mine out in ages. I think I've cleaned it out once since I joined. I don;t think I'll get around to it anytime soon. as long as I feel I have plenty of room I'll leave it be, which will be for a while. ( having a 1000 limit means I can procrastinate longer :) ) I do the same with my HDD too. as long as I feel I have enough space (usually 30gb or more) than I'm fine, butif it gets below that I whip out the Blank DvDs.

  • I do with whenever I'm bored enough to do it. I have a larger inbox than normal members(only 100 more) so I have to do it less often. That's a good thing considering all >>

    I'm never using PMs anyway, I get them only if someone is asking me a question or if someone's just asking to be friends.

    I have a grand total of SEVEN PMs in there right now XD

  • In my whole time here I've never had to clear out my PM's. Maybe cos I don't talk that much here. So I'll go with never.

    Right now there are 24 PM's in my PM inbox.

    ^^;
    I only clean out mine, when I need to make space for a new one.
    Other than that I just leave my box full. XD;;
