How about using tubenet messaging for an INITIAL contact, and then switching over to email (as most all email programs offer virtually unlimited web space, and only require one "click" to read the emails) ?

Message sent! (just kidding)

Can't you just turn off PM's and only accept emails? I thought that was an option, but I could be wrong.

I echo Joe's comments. I find it very unhandy to respond to personal messages and much prefer to be emailed. Within my email program... I can file emails any way I choose to or just delete them altogether.

I must have five or six folders and still have plenty of room for more private messages

I wasn't aware that the quantity of storage (here) could (simply) be expanded by adding more-and-more folders... Is that the case?

Yes. Notice how it says "FOLDER"... each folder can contain 150 messages. I have one folder that is full but a few others that are between 20-40% full, individually.

Very useful to know - thanks Ian! I have just moved all messages from inbox to new folder avoiding this problem for a while...

These new revelations are helpful but still doesn't eliminate having to maintain just another place to store emails.

I still prefer to use only Thunderbird for emails. I don't even keep emails on my phone. I forward them all to my computer. It's just a lot more convenient for me to do business in one place.

Bloke increased the average intelligence of the human race when writing:
"Finally, (at least as far as I'm concerned) my phone number is at the bottom of most of my posts. Fifteen back-and-forth tubenet messages can be covered (usually) in one three-minute phone conversation (yeah...remember "phone conversations"...?? "

+1,000 - and not just on TubeNet. I find people at work participate in interminable e-mail threads when a short phone call would dismiss the issue. But it wouldn't leave a trail for CYA purposes which is what these folks are more interested in anyway.

I emailed you my response to this thread, you stupid boor
