Hmm... it really let you go into the inbox before you activated your account? That shouldn't happen (I think)... I'll do some testing tomorrow (or later tonight) to see if I can figure out why you were able to view your inbox prior to activation as vBulletin should prevent that from happening.
Another alternative would to hide the popup box when inserting the PM into the database, but new users who are not familiar with a forums system may not notice the "You have 1 new PM" in the upper right corner. I wonder if there is a way to suppress email messages about PMs, though....
