For those with mysql has gone away errors when trying to send a lot of PM's - you will need to increase these limits in your MySQL settings to (found in my.cnf in the /etc/ folder in your root directory of your server):
interactive_timeout=28000
wait_timeout=28000
connect_timeout=28000
My defaults are much less, but I increase them to send 40,000 pm's, then revert them back to what they are normally.
You'll want to contact your host to change these if you don't know how - but under a shared hosting account you may not be able to.
