Operation of forums: Private messages

Bonjour Christophe

Could we have an explanation on the functioning of mp, messages sent privately from the site
Messages arrive where and are stored where?
On site or at home? Is there a history and archiving of emails sent and received?

Thank you

they are on the site, access here:


but, in theory, they also arrive in your mailbox

by clicking on: private messages
I can see the messages I sent myself:

Hello

Thank you Tagor

I got it

On the other hand, I only receive an e-mail at home which warns me that I have a message, by clicking on the link indicated, we access the mailbox on the site

To go a little more into the technique:

A) There are 3 "directory":
- Inbox = messages received
- Outbox = messages sent but NOT yet opened by the recipient (if it drags and if it is important send him an email)
- Sent messages = sent and READ messages

So you can know if your correspondent has read their message.

B) The storage of messages is limited to a few hundred KB per person. Roughly ca it makes a hundred messages distributed in the 3 boxes.

So be sure to copy / paste the important PM "elsewhere".

On the other hand, I only receive an e-mail at home which warns me that I have a message, by clicking on the link indicated, we access the mailbox on the site

Uh yes and? Does this seem to be a problem?

Hello

Thank you for these explanations

Uh yes and? Does this seem to be a problem?

No not at all, I thought that a mp was arriving on the members' personal mailbox and not on the site's mailbox
There was just confusion on my part

if it drags and if it's important send him an email

Yes, but how can we access members' personal messaging? Maybe some people do not want to leave it visible and accessible on the site

No for this you have to use the "send an email" function
