If you check the setting in your profile for personal messages:  "Remove the inbox label when applying another label" then using the labeling system will create "mail folders" and allow you to organize your PM's

After checking this setting, then, in your Inbox, go over to the left under "Preferences" and click "Manage Labels".  In the Add New Label field, type the name of the poster whose PMs you want to save.  (You can actually type anything you want in the Label Name field….I named mine “Save”.)
Then you will click "Add New Label" in order to see the name you typed appear in the top (Manage Labels) portion of that box.  Put a check in the box next to where that name has appeared and click "Save".   You have just created a label.

Now, click over on the left under Messages on "Inbox".  Check the small box by every message you have from that poster.   When you have finished checking the boxes, then use the pull-down "Label Selected" that you will see next to the "Delete" button (just above where you actually read a PM).  Select the name on the pull-down menu of the label you just created.  All of the messages you have checked will disappear from your Inbox.  When you go to the left and click on the name of the label you created (under "Labels") you will find those messages there.  This will cut down on the clutter of too many messages piled up in your Inbox

All that jabber means you can create a label for friends and make a rule that all their messages automatically go to their folder.
 
 
I have requested a mod for an easy to use folder system, but don't get your hopes up!

I don't like it, it is just the way the forum handles PM's
