Instant Message folders

[trparky]

Ok, the other forums have it, including vBulletin, well, maybe not phpBB, but vBulletin definitely has it.

The ability to create folders in the Instant Message system.  Gots to organize my IMs.

not sure if really need folders support, but the thing I really miss much is limitation of IM box and probably some statistic on how much free space is left.

[Gobalopper]

Well if its not included in the default install I'll be doing the AdvIM mod again which has most of those features.

[sensovision]

glad to know this

[offtopic] I'm so exsited about SMF even if I sitll can't download it [/offtopic]

I'm high on having folders as well.

Awhile back it was our intention (Joseph and I) to really revamp the PM system and make it a message center...maybe I'll have to take a peek

Well, I don't know, it'll be extremely useful if you get lots of IM's, but on most fora I never have more than 5 at the same time, I don't know if there are a lot of users who really would use such options, but if you use IM's a lot, it's, as I said, very useful!

Axplosion, I think that people are different, e.g. I'm admin and getting many PMs since members prefer them to mail. other forum staff also getting much PMs so I think that limitation is good thing and should be implemented.

True, very true, but, as I said, if you use personal messages a lot, it's very useful...
I just got my first PM on this board (message from Acf: 'just testing im' )!

Anyway, it shouldn't be to hard to make, IM Folders option, and the more functionality the better, so why not...?

Noticed no talk of this since 8/2004 and not included with 1.0 final.

Are there any plans for a folder system for a future update/version (or as a mod)?
The remaining space feature would be great as well.

No new features were included in 1.0 for a very good reason, so I'm not at all surprised (well, I wouldn't be if it hasdn't been my descision, too) that it wasn't changed in 1.0 final.

Thanks for the info.  We'll see if someone smarter than me can come up with a mod

I realize this mod request has been dead for a while, but I recently revamped how I run a few things, and have realized that a mod like this would be highly useful to me and my moderators.

Anyone have some free time that could look into coding something like this?

PM Labels are default on 1.1.

[HEB XI 1]

yes, but labels are not folders ... all the PM's are still listed in the Inbox.  What I (and I think the others) were talking about are actual folders that PM's could be sorted into.  Personally, I would like to have a "Drafts" folder, where I can store PM formats that I use alot.

[JayBachatero]

What you can do is labe your message then after you do that remove the inbox label.

[HEB XI 1]

ahhh - see I missed the "remove label" option ... that works nicely
