Once your Private-Message function has been activated. You can store up to 100 messages in all. Given you have a 1-1 send-receive ratio, you can store 50 sent and 50 received messages in your folder. But no, this does not mean that this is all you can
store!
You can easily retrieve your private messages by
clicking the check-box next to the message you want to download, and then scrolling down to the three link/buttons at the bottom of the page(circled in picture).
Now upon looking at the three choices given, you may be wondering 'What is XML? Or CSV? Well, honestly, I have no idea what these two things are. But what I do know from venturing far enough to actually click those lil links, is that XML opens with one's browser, and has interactive text which you can use to expand and collapse the pm's that you have downloaded.
CVS opens with one's notepad and is not much different (as far as I can tell) from a regular txt document.
All of your private-messages, no matter what link you click, will be downloaded into the same file. So if you have 50 messages selected, and you click one of the choices, the pop-up window will allow you to choose where to save the file and it will download the selected messages to that folder. All one file.
Any messages not selected will not be downloaded.

I hope that this information can be useful in the future, and I will expand upon it as I collect more in-depth knowledge of how it all works.
And remember, you can always come to mama.
