its recently come to light that extremely dated PMs are automatically being deleted from the server. i've tried downloading the remaining ones that i have, but everytime i click on one of the options (any of them really), i recieve a "page cannot be displayed" error. i was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this same issue.
i'm using firefox as a web brower. i don't know if that makes a difference, but any assistance or advice would be much appreciated.

i've tried using both firefox and internet explorer as web browers and i still have the same issue. any assistance or advice would be much appreciated.
I always thought PMs get deleted automatically after a certain time?
I know for a fact that I have a whole ton of old PMs that are no longer in my inbox or any of the folders, and more disappear each day. Something had to have happened to them, and I can count on one hand the number of PMs I've deleted myself.
Yeah, the request gets killed because it uses too many server processes. I really need to look into a more efficient way of downloading them. PMs have never been pruned (as far as I can remember). In fact, there is no limit on how many PMs you can have.
I have PMs back from 2002, and in the DB there are PMs from when we switched to vB back in 2001.
So either you've found a bug thats not showing PMs properly, or you may have deleted them yourself in the past, which I had done to my own prior to 2002.
