What it does
Private Notes lets members send each other private messages on the site. Notes are kept in each member's inbox, as conversations they can reply to. Members are notified of new notes, by email or however they chose in their Notifications settings.

Setting it up
In Quota Config, check Allowed Access for the quotas whose members may send and receive notes. The module adds a Private Notes link to the user menu.

Who can send to whom
When the Followers module is active and Followers Only is on (the default), a member can only send a note to members who follow them, and to admins. This stops strangers from sending unwanted notes. Turn Followers Only off to let members send a note to anyone.
Admins can always send a note to anyone.
