Hi, I’m trying to import private messages from a vBulletin5 database.

It works, but in the author profile the discussion only appears in “sent”, not in “inbox”.

On the other participant profile, the discussion correctly appears in “inbox” as well as in “sent”.

Author profile:
Appears in “sent”

But not in “inbox”

Other participant profile:
Appears in both:

How can I make the discussion appears in the inbox of the author?

My current messy code if necessary

        AND contenttypeid=#{@pm};"
    ).first["cnt"]

    batches(BATCH_SIZE) do |offset|
      pms = mysql_query <<-SQL
