I understand all of the above - and what an honest board owner can and can not do.

But in this case we are not talking about such a person.

Surely you must remember the long description given by Neal as to how he was allegedly shown (let's leave out who by, as that was almost certainly another lie - and it doesn't take a genius to work out who the real " teacher" was (glug, glug) ) how to over-write a user's password to gain access to their account. The only sticking-point with that is that the user would surely realise his p/w had been changed, as Neal insisted there was no way of restoring it. Whether that's true or not, I have no idea

So, as yet there is no explanation of a447 and Marsilius having PMs deleted from their inbox.

As for my own situation of having my outbox emptied, I understand perfectly how that can be done from the "Control panel" - but I would still class that as accessing/interfering with my PM facility.
