Backup/Download PMs in Inbox AND Outbox?

[VML]

I've searched & looked through the facts, but I don't see this addressed...

A Message Board that I am a member of (& on the staff of) is closing. I just downloaded the Personal Messages in my Inbox, but when I try to do the same for the PMs in my Outbox, I'm getting the message that I have to wait until October 27...

The Message Board is closing on October 1... any ideas or do I just have to save each one?

You'll have to save one by one or wait till 27 Oct.

Thanks for your reply....

Is there anything anyone on staff can do?

I have 100s & 100s of PMs in my Outbox that I want to save... I'm literally going 'stare-crazy' trying to do this. I remember asking if it was possible to save PMs both in the Inbox & Outbox with the new 'backup/download' and thought I got an 'affirmative' that this would be possible... but after downloading the Inbox, you then have to wait 30 days to download the Outbox -- just doesn't work!

You can't mass-download the outbox PMs at all. The 'pm backup' link in the outbox leads to the exact same page as the link in the inbox. Only the inbox PMs are backed up.
