The Ultimate Member Private Messages Addon is a WordPress plugin that extends the functionality of the Ultimate Member plugin by adding a comprehensive private messaging system to your website.

8. Email Notifications: When someone starts a new conversation with a user, the addon sends an email notification to alert them. Users can also opt to enable or disable email notifications for new conversations from their account page.
9. User Role Control: Site administrators have the flexibility to control which user roles can use private messages. Additionally, they can specify which roles can send or receive private messages, granting more control over the messaging system’s usage.
10. Conversation Limits: Admins can limit the number of new conversations that a specific user role can initiate within a designated timeframe. This feature helps prevent spamming or excessive messaging.
