   Before asking for support, please check:
   - Did you enter the Userid of the Sender?
   - Does the sender have permission to use PMs?
   - Does Usergroup registered have permission to use PMs?
   - Are you using the original Phrases?

yep did all that

[Andreas]

Then I don't know what's going wrong - should work.
If you want you can send me a PM with an Admin Account so I can take a look at it, or you can try to track down the problem yourself.

Beermonster,

Just a thought (and untested), but does your default usergroup (2?) have PMs enabled by default?

As mentioned, this is not tested, so may not be an issue.
