I need a good reliable Private Message Reader Program

jjpmarketing · 08-27-2008, 08:15 PM

I downloaded "vBulletin PM Reader" trying to backup my PM's from the warrior forum, because my inbox is almost full. I keep getting this stupid "about:blank not found" error.

Does anyone know of a good PM reader that actually works. This one let me import teh XML file, but wouldn't let me read any of the messages once I had it imported.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Why dont you just download them as a text file? I've been doing that with VBulletin for years and it works fine.

That is exactly why I want a PM reader. I don't want to deal with text files. I want to open one program and view them that way... in an orderly fashion.

Have you tried it? You download them all as one file, open the file and they are all there in an orderly manner. Seems your making it harder than it needs to be.
I tried to find the PM reader you were talking about but every link I tried to download it from said bandwith exceeded.Sorry.

When I say orderly fashion... I mean I want to be able to sort by sender, date, etc. You can't exactly do that with a txt file. I want a program that does all of that for me.

I ran into the same problem. I have an older version... and I think that newer version may fix my problem. I was really trying to find out if someone knew of an alternative.

I know. I appreciate the help. Just wanted to be clear that txt files would be the absolute last resort.

Dennis,

You can't sort them out as CSV files or as XML files?

The PM Reader is nice. Pretty much what I want. I just can't get the damn thing to work. I tried putting it into a spreadsheet... but it wasn't as nice as that PM reader would have had it.
