I would love to see search feature for Private Messages and ability to backup selected or full all pm's them as xls, text or xml

Justified request eh?

You can already export pm's in a vanilla installation
Go to your list of Private Messages and at the bottom is a drop down where you can export to CSV, CSV (excel) and XML

Yup, ask the Q on the correct support forum. Goto http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewforum.php?f=46

Well, I m aware of that ... Normally Administrator and moderators get huge number of private messages.So its very difficult to backup all with current available backup feature.


In above case, user has to conduct export/backup procedures for 19 times.

Yes, working with a large number of PM's is extremely difficult in phpBB3. Just the other day I was testing something on my live site and got over 4,000 debug PM's on my account (I have it set to send me a PM whenever an error is encountered). Luckly though I've edited mine so I can specify the number of PM's shown on one page (there may be a mod for it), so I could delete them all rather easily. If I'd have been stuck with 25 at a time I'd never be able to remove them all.

Did these capabilities ever find their way into a version release or a MOD release?

I know it's almost a year later but search in PM's would be a great benefit...
Another option I could live with is... DB export of PM's so I could keep a copy on my local server....
There is often valuable information which remains valid for several years... mind you I could do this from the ACP but what if I was not an admin?
