What is the PMViewer?

The PMViewer is a tool to browse your old private-messages.
It reads *.xml from the phpBB3 export function.

Tired of full inboxes?

Most phpBB 3.x.x boards limit the count of private-messages.
If a folder is full, you won't receive any more messages or old ones are overwritten.
BUT you are able to EXPORT the messages in xml-format.
If you do so, you just may save them in a folder, naming the files like you want.
NOW you can use the PMViewer to browse through and read your old messages while your inbox can receive the new ones. :)

      java -jar PMViewer.jar

  3. Browse/read

    • Smile! :-)
