Im using the private message Module and have it enabled and working but at page user/1/messages there is no "Write a new message" link just a list of messages made/received, filter message options and Drop down menu option such as "Make Read" etc.

How do i show "Write a new message" link?

Please note
At page /?q=messages the link "Write a new message" will show with extra tab in page such as Inbox, Sent Messages, All messages and Blocked users.

Version: 7.x-2.x-dev
Module Link: http://drupal.org/project/privatemsg

Thanks for your help in advance

Do other users on the site have the link?

Have you cleared the Drupal cache?

Stackexchange user @znerol suggests this workaround, which just worked for me:

You should use hook_menu_alter instead. E.g.:

$items['messages/newmessage']['type'] = MENU_LOCAL_TASK;
