When viewing admin/build/menu, the "My Inbox" link disappears from navigation, and no link shows in the menu administration panel for My Inbox. I don't understand why it would do this but you should be able to move the My Inbox link, which is what I need to do.

I experience this disappearing too, but it's not really a problem for me.

Inbox is actually sitting in a container marked "Private Messages", but it is disabled, thus showing only Inbox. Enable "Private Messages", move it (with Inbox in it) to the desired spot, and disable it again.

Best,
Andrey.

Andrey's explanation helps a little bit, but there's definitely something wrong. This is on D52.

My uid 1 menu looks like this [1]:

  * Code review
  * Kontakt
  * My account
  * My blog
  * My inbox
  > Create content
  > Administer
  * Log out

When I go to Administer » Site building » Menus, the menu changes to [2]

  * My blog
  * Code review
  > Create content
  * Kontakt
  * My account
  v Administer
        ...
  * Log out

Why is the menu order changing, and where did "My inbox" go (the question of the OP)?

The state of the menu is this [3]:

Start (disabled)
Blogs (disabled)
 - My blog locked
Code review
Compose tips (disabled)
Content (disabled)
 - Create content
  - Blog entry
  - Forum topic
  - Image
  - Page
  - Story
database queries (disabled)
Forums (disabled)
Kontakt
My subscriptions (disabled)
Private messages (disabled)
recent posts (disabled)
Tags (disabled)
 - Blog Topics (disabled)
 - Forums (disabled)
 - Visibility (disabled)
My account locked
Administer
    ...
Log in
Log out

It corresponds to how the menu looks on the Menus page [2], but only one level up (i.e. in Administer » Site building), the menu reverts to [1]!

If I enable the "Private Messages" item as Andrey suggests, then "Private Messages" shows up in [2] between "Kontakt" and "My account" as expected [4]:

  * My blog
  * Code review
  > Create content
  * Kontakt
  * Private messages
  * My account
  v Administer
        ...
  * Log out

I don't see any sign that "Private Messages" might be expandable though, neither in [3] nor in [4], and I still don't see "My inbox"! However, when I go up one level to Site building, then the menu changes to [5]

  * My blog
  * Code review
  > Create content
  * Kontakt
  > Private messages
  * My account
  v Administer
        ...
  * Log out

Note that "Private messages" is now shown as expandable! Also note that the menu has NOT reverted to the order in [1]!!! This is as it should be — [1] should never happen, but it does when "Private messages" is disabled.

When I click on "Private messages", I get [6]

  * My blog
  * Code review
  > Create content
  * Kontakt
  v Private messages
     *  My inbox
  * My account
  > Administer
  * Log out

which is fine. Apparently, enabling "Private messages" has returned things back to normal.

I believe this indicates that there's something wrong with Privatemsg's menu definition, so badly wrong that it confuses menu.module, if "Private messages" is disabled.

Why is there a "Private messages" submenu anyway? Are there ever any other items besides "My inbox" in there?

Sorry for pinging the participants, I am closing old issues.

This version of Privatemsg is not supported anymore, maybe it is already implemented in Privatemsg for Drupal 6 and if not, you are welcome to open a new issue for it.
