I'm looking for a mod/hack that will allow users to automatically download private messages (all messages in their inbox).

What do you mean by automatically, you already can download all your message or am I missing something? :)

EDIT: The option available is to download all not specifically Inbox. Where you aware you could already download your PM's?

Yes I am aware that users can download their pms already. I'm looking for an mod/hack that would allow my users to select in the usercp that will download their pms with the choices being "all" or "inbox". Also that they can choose from "once every two weeks and delete" or "once a month and delete".

The community is targeted towards people with neurological disorders, and as such a group of members forget about the pm limits. Granted I could keep increasing the pm limits, but it gets to be too overwhelming for some. I figure if there is an option to automatically download their pms and delete them it would make things a little easier for them.

I just have the PM limit set at 60,000 on my site. I really don't see an issue although I understand where you're coming from. I wouldn't imagine PM's being an issue unless you had an extremely large board but the features you described would be welcome regardless tbh
