Backups of PMs?

My sentbox disappeared - I think someone using my computer might have deleted it by mistake but is there any way of getting it back in any form? Thanks.

yes... tell people to send you back the pms, then you'd have them in your inbox... why do you want your sentbox anyways?

Mayhaps it contains valuable information that they may have forgot to save when they were moderating a game, no?

It's a royal pain in my ass to restore just your sentbox, so unless you can convince me there is something CRITICAL that you need, there is no way to get it back. In any case, it would only be as new as the latest backup before they were deleted (see news for when that was).

Never mind then. I thought I lost something critical, but I found a copy of that on my HD.

Is there any way to backup PMs en masse easily?

what about if we had the option of saving it, but if you ly pressed delete like 3 pop ups will come up and say 'are you sure?'

How about select all, save marked? It jsut moves things to your saved box, but at least you don't need to worry about accidently deleting them when you sort your inbox.
