I thought I was imagining this until I saw someone else having the same problem. Anyone else had problems and fab , are these messages now gone for good?

I've not logged on for a while and now most of my messages have been deleted / I have loads of messages in my inbox and some of the older ones have gone missing

Fab is a super busy site. Hundreds of thousands of private mails are sent every day and we have tens of millions of such messages on our system. Because we do this mostly for free, we can't keep all the messages for ever because our costs would go up and up and the site would get slower and slower. Older messages that have already been read in "dormant" accounts that haven't been logged into for a while are removed from the system. Similarly if you have loads of mails in your inbox, the system will periodically remove some of the oldest.

If some mails are important to you and you want to make sure they're not deleted, become a site supporter and save any important mails to your "saved message folder" (look for "save it" on the bottom of messages you receive) and we'll keep those mails on the system (unless we screw things up and they get deleted too; but we'll try not to!).

Yeah some of mine went missing also, i wasn't bothered.

On my old profile i managed to keep some old messages for months, but constantly cleared out my inbox to keep them. I don't clear out any more, cba.

I log on almost daily yet still unread messages from my inbox disappear. If I had wanted them deleted I am more than capable of deleting them myself, I really don't need them removed without my consent.

If Fab want to save a bit of server space why don't they delete profiles which haven't been used for over a year instead of messing with a very active profile!!
