Two things (and hopefully I am asking these questions in the right place):

1. Can I send a PM to more than one person? If so, how?

2. At the bottom of the main "Mousepad" window (here (http://mousepad.mouseplanet.com/index.php?s=)) it says under Private Messages: "Kevy Baby - You have 1 new message(s) since your last visit.
(You have 0 unread messages and 52 total messages in all your folders.)". I'm not sure where those 52 messages are - is there a trash that I am supposed to be emptying? Also, what 1 new mesage are it referring to? I only have three messages in my PM box and I have read them all.

Kevy,

There are three folders you need to check - inbox, outbox and message tracking. When you look at them, be sure to change the date range to "since the beginning," so you see everything in each one.

And then delete away - if you hit 70 messages, your box will be full and you can't get more messages until you empty it.

AVP

It took me a while to find these folders - I could have SWORN I looked there B4 :)

So it looks like I need to go through my "sent messages" and delete some. Is there a way to tell the system to automatically delete them after a period of time?

Message tracking doesn't use up mailbox space.

For sending one message to multiple recipients, first add all the recipients to your Buddy List (use the Buddy button on the bottom of their post or click on "Add [user] to your Buddy List" at the bottom of their profile). In Private Messages click on the PM to Buddies button and put a check next to all the Buddies you want to PM. You can select a maximum of 5 Buddies.

And on the moral support side of things - you definitely aren't the first to be confused by all of this. :)

I also figured out where that number was coming from. I thought I had cleared my sent messages folder last night but it turns out I didn't. Cleared it successfully today and all is well.

Thanks for the help (and for answering my multiple recipients question :) !)
