Until the group PMs started being usable (and they’re still not quite _there_), we used categories that were only viewable/postable by the specific groups. That, coupled with [my version of the Watch Category plugin](https://github.com/amical/discourse-watch-category) was a decent solution. But as Tobias mentioned it was really confusing to users. I’m not sure that Tobias solution is ideal though. Right now it’s a vague whether something is a group PM or not. I don’t have anything to suggest at the moment. I just wanted to chime in and say that I’m facing the same difficulties as Tobias. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/suggestion-hide-show-group-inbox-via-user-preference-or-group-admin-setting/70463)._
