Managing Your Inbox: Tips for Avoiding an Overflowing Mailbox

AI Thread Summary
A full private message (PM) mailbox indicates that all folders, including sent messages, are at capacity, with a limit of 50 messages. Users are advised to delete old messages and clear PM tracking to manage storage effectively. PM tracking allows users to see if their messages have been read, which can also contribute to mailbox clutter. Regular maintenance of the inbox is essential to avoid overflow and ensure smooth communication. Effective inbox management can enhance user experience on the platform.

Is Your Mailbox Full??

When your pm-ing mailbox is full, it means ALL your folders are full. Your sent pms folder etc.

Thread 'Thank you to mentors, advisors and members'

I had something I wanted the scientific community to know and slipped a new idea in against the rules. Thank you also to @berkeman for suggesting paths to meet with academia. Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...

Thread 'Thank you physics forums, 20 years later'

About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
