at least about pm i do it without any problem for 2 years.
i use a very simple script:

<?php
define("user", "dbuser");
define("pass", "dbpass");
define("host", "localhost");
define("db", "dbname");


$cxn = mysql_connect(host ,user, pass);
mysql_select_db(db);

$delete_time = time() - ( 30 * 24 * 60 * 60 );  // 30 days/month * 24 hrs/day
// * 60 minutes/hour * 60 seconds/min.

$sql = "DELETE from `xoops_priv_msgs` WHERE `read_msg` = '0' AND `msg_time` < '$delete_time'";
//This script would delete everything older than 30 days that has been not read.

$result = mysql_query($sql, $cxn);
?>

and run it every day with a cron.

MP manager can purge pm too but i dont use it because i need to do it automatically every day.

and about notification its in the Herve todo list for the future version of his new module xoopscare.

I am familiar with GoDaddy, and wan't excited using them for my sql database it was even limited I believe in uploading my sql files from my prior hosting company, was going to have to break the files up into smaller ones. I personally have been happy with bluehost.com service. Nothing wrong with GoDaddy either but like you said, you don't get access to some helpful tools and info.

Note: They still should be able to confirm if the sql servers are having heavy loads on them to help you in confirming your problem.

Are you using cache options in your site setup?

I recommend you take the MPmanager module down. Although the original PM is not very nice (powerful?) at least it doesn't kill XOOPS sites. My experience and my colleagues as well, is that this module is not really ready for prime time. The MPmanager installation changes too many core XOOPS files, which introduces a lot of site instability and weirdness- just like that which you are experiencing.

Ok that is different to what I have, I see you have an auto login hack. The lines in blue you have included are different to mine, I am lost now lol. this is what I have in my read_me file, well two steps that I have that are similar to that blue highlight

#################################################

Modify <xoops_root>/user.php

#################################################



-Find

redirect_header('user.php',5,_US_ACTLOGIN);

or

redirect_header( 'user.php', 5, _US_ACTLOGIN, false );



-Add theses 2 lines just above:

require_once XOOPS_ROOT_PATH . '/modules/mpmanager/include/functions.php';

mpauto($id);





#################################################

Modify <xoops_root>/register.php

#################################################



-Find:

redirect_header('index.php', 4, _US_ACTLOGIN);



-Add theses 2 lines just above:

require_once XOOPS_ROOT_PATH . '/modules/mpmanager/include/functions.php';

mpauto($newid);

Maybe we have a different version, or have you changed it for your own situation, am I missing something, I don't see checklogin.php mentioned is that part of the autologin hack lol. Maybe I am on the wrong page (cognitive functions aint so good these days) ;o) Hopefully someone else can help, Good luck and I am glad you got back into your site.

I am so lost what version of XOOPS are you using? Anyway I am off to the land of nod. Cheers.

Assuming you have done all the steps correctly it should all work, but you know that ;o)

You didn't mention if you had done this I don't think, "from the read_me"

"- Go to mpmanager's Administration to define the permissions."

Oh and yeah the inbox as such doesn't change in that it's the same one except hacked/modified/modularised or however you want to describe it, the appearance does change when you go into the inbox, but essentially it's still the same inbox as such, well that's how I see it, but has cool extra features and looks a bit fancier lol.

I don't have it as a link in my main menu I gave that a value of 0 in Admin (would only confuse users lol) but I am sure you know this. Have a look in the MP-Manager module Admin Preferences and the Permissions in particular and check the options, have a play if you haven't already.

Other than that you may have to check that you have followed all steps in the read me and I think there is an example text file as well.

Sorry it's been a while since I installed it, and honestly I just did what the instructions said and it worked after setting everything up.

I hope I have understood your post and I have at least helped a little, sorry if I went over something that you already knew ;o)
