I have what must be an amazingly silly question but I cant find it ANYPLACE

I have installed Drupal Version 5 and I keep hearing that users can send messages to one another In Drupal and that the admin can send a message to EVERYONE thats registered or a particular person by choice. Much like an e mail system for Drupal.

I cannot find a module or configuration anyplace for this.

Is there a particular module that I need and if its already embedded in can someone please tell me where this is?

Thanks so much

Darryl

There's contact.module which comes with D5, but I don't think it's enabled by default. Information: http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/contact.

Then there's massmailer, which would let the admin send out a message to everyone: http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/massmailer.

Does that solve your problem, or do you specifically want to send private messages within your Drupal site?

Actually now that I look at it perhaps it does not.

Let me re phrase what I am asking.

There are people who sign up for our drupal site and if we enable the mail module we can send mail to them by clicking on their user name.

Is there a way for me as the admin to simply send mail to everyone who is a member of a drupal site without going into each profile and clicking their name to send that message. Can I just send one message to all of our members?

investigate the mass_contact.module = http://drupal.org/project/mass_contact

quoted from the project page:

The Mass Contact module is simply a modified and enhanced version of the core contact module. It allows site moderators (or anyone with permission), to send mass e-mail to a set role, group of roles or even to all registered users.

That seems to be it.

Interesting enough when I download the file and extract it the folder is completely empty.

I have downloaded it twice and yet its totally empty.

Any ideas?

When I download 5.x-2.4 from http://drupal.org/node/235416 or the the direct link from http://drupal.org/project/mass_contact the folder and files are there. I don't know what tool you are using to extract the archive but that could be the problem.
