How do you manage your PM box?
I keep emptying my PM box, but it seems like no matter how often I delete messages it fills right back up again. 
Can we get bigger boxes (one more time)?
I suppose I could just delete everything, instead of just deleting the silly stuff, but I really want to keep some of these messages.
What to do? What to do?

I have the same issue as Punki. It always fills up quickly and I always try to get it back down to a reasonable size, but it never stays that way for long, and the cycle starts again. Simply put, I suck at managing it. I guess I should use more email or something, but would love to see the boxes get bigger again, although I guess that would just cause the same issue in the long run.

Punki,, just think of what you would do if all these PMs were on pieces of paper, say like those pink phone message slips that are ubiquitous in any office. You'd throw them out once you've replied!
There's something about email that isn't quite real (like paper) so we tend to save it just in case the message was imagined or misundersood or something.
Larger mailboxes result in more accumulated messages that you probably don't really need.

Ok, it's an interesting discussion - and an ongoing problem for me, who is basically just too lazy to clear out regularly
