However it seems like the inbox        folder is gone for good.              Is there a way to download the current messages that you send receive?              I thought I could trust Ancestry to keep the messages, but .....              SO: Now I will have to archive my messages on my computer, like I do        for all documents I need from Ancestry to support my research.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
