Today I realized I lost some of the older private messages - both sent and received.

I'm pretty sure I didn't canceled them on purpose (I mean in-game PMs, not the forum ones).

I don't think I have exceeded the limit because I used to have more.

 

Do private messages get canceled once they are too old?

If so, when do they become "too old"?

PMs expire after some time, 1 month according to the announcement https://magicduel.com/page/Announcement/view/2802

Thank you Kaya, I was aware of their decay.

"You cannot send a message back because the PM is too old. Send a new PM if you wish to reply."

Still, I can read the PM, I have a couple that are 11 months 4 weeks old.

I was wondering when they disappear from the inbox.

 

I could be wrong, but I want to say last I heard it was a year or so that stale old pms just go poof. I'd double check with Chewie though.

one month? yea, that's probably how long they last (i wasn't sure of the length)

you still have a few that are older than that because you deleted the new ones, so that your inbox was never full

Messages are deleted after a year according to the code unless they are unread or marked as important.

However maybe we should increase this to 5 years?

Thanks for the clarification, it makes sense.

How do I mark them as important?

Thats an admin only feature to highlight messages sent. You can't.
