At present there is an option to save PMs as text, xml or csv files.
One problem is that on any one date the file names are the same. There does not seem to be any way to change or modify the date before downloading and saving the files. If the time were also appended that would at least partially avoid further problems.
The rather painful fix for this is to download one batch of messages, then change the file name in one's OS, then download the next batch.
Is this something which could be configured differently?
I'm assuming it's still unrealistic to allow for more than 200 messages per user - though nowadays I'd have expected storage to be cheap enough.
I don't really mind downloading and saving messages if it can be made simpler.
I like to download and store PMs before deleting all of them, and sometimes (as of today and yesterday) this becomes more important when one's inbox becomes full, which has happened to me, and also I note to one or two others.
