Is there a way to use the message module for private messages between users?
currently I use the privatemsg module, but using such an extra module might not be necessary?

Although the name is similar, it provides different functionality. I don't think Message can help you here.

@Amitaibu: Any thoughts on why this might not be a good idea?

It seems like this could be done nicely using Message. It would require creating forms manually, but that shouldn't be terrible. You would need a message type with two entity reference fields - one for the message sender and one for the recipient. Then of course a field for the message body. I guess threaded conversations could get tricky.

I am wondering the same thing as milesw. Could this be done?

A very simple way (practically a mockup) to do this: https://drupal.org/sandbox/kinta/1939924 .

this could be great if someone will do submodule for using messages instead privatemsg which has really old architecture, no views support etc.
