I'm not sure if this has happened to anyone else, but I definitely have a problem with it.

I normally keep pretty close tabs on my CFC mailbox, as I don't like it when I PM someone else only to get told that their mailbox is full. I download the PM's I want to keep and then delete those. Lately, I've been noticing my mailbox percentage creep ever higher, so I basically ran a DL/delete in all my folders and basically left it that way with only a good-sized handfull in Inbox and Sent items. But when I signed on today, I notice I was at 95% full.

This was definitely wrong. I checked, and I only had 5 PM's in my entire mailbox. I deleted a few and took it down to 92%. Too weird. While conversing with my Moderator about the problem, I'd watch my percentage rise back up to 95%, and with deletions go back to 92%.

I then decided to d/l all the PM's and delete them. Just for you Doubting Thomas people, I have been working the PM system for quite a while. This last action (along with all the others) included ALL folders - Inbox, Sent Items, PM Tracking, you name it, I checked it.

I then deleted ALL my personal folders that I had emptied (6 or so). This last action took my mailbox usage percentage down to a whopping 87%. This 87% represents a totally empty mailbox.

Anyone else have this problem? :scan:
 
weird. and it had nothing to do with what date to display the messages? cant say this has ever happedn to me.
 
Yup, yer right. I just went and changed to "view from" window to "from the begining" and I found messages dating beck to last September. I guess I wasn't paying that close attention.

Thanks you two.

P.S. A lot of the messages were from the "personal" folders I had. I guess when I deleted those folders, the messages that were in them went to the inbox folder by default.
 
Also check your sent messages. I believe those are stored as well.
