If It will Send a PM Message to user to inform them we gone to delete there PM's Just to let them get copy of any messages ..

Thanks ..

Thanks for your suggestion.
I think it should be an administration notice shown per usergroup if that usergroup's PMs setup to be deleted, may be shown in all pages or in the PM system.

It will be implemented in the next version.

Any other suggestions ...?
