I have been thinking about this issue a lot recently now that I am working on the messaging system.

I think I would like to change it so you can “archive” any PM you have, once archived it goes into an “archive” section until an new PM arrives as a reply.

Effectively giving you a proper inbox that you can clear. As it stands it is very hard to manage PM workflows.

**EDIT** inbox/archive and the more fancy inbox/archive for group messages is now implemented.
