Back up your private messages

[Troy]

hey guys, in preparation for a server migration - i need everyone to:

- save any needed data from their private message history (if needed)
- prune messages older than 14 days (My Messages - > actions -> prune)

I apologize for short notice, but I need this done within the next 10 days.
On August 2nd or 3rd I will automatically prune the data.

Is there a way to save the msgs here or is it a write it down/print it out deal?

I'm all the way up to page TWO, going back & forth between sent & inbox.....cut & paste assignment to G-mail draft........
There's too much fun stuff there to just let it slide......life's history kinda thing..................

I'll look for an export plug in tonight when I get home.

What ever happened here....is there a need to back up or no?

at this time, no.

But it would really help if people pruned their data a bit. That private message database is almost 1 gigabyte.
