1) enabled the module in admin/build/modules/list
2) setting in admin/settings/messages
3) enable the "Privatemsg links" in admin/build/block/list
4) enable the rule in admin/user/permissions

finally, I see the two field in "Privatemsg links" block
1) Write new message ---> but no thing can be selected
2) Messages ---> no thing inside

No readme can be found.
How can I send pm to other users. Where is the inbox ? How to use it?
I am using content profile. Do I need to create custom module or something I missed ?
Please advise. Thanks

Please provide screenshots from the "Write new message" and "Messages" pages (and other places if you think those are important too, like settings, permissions and so on). From what I can tell, you have done everything correctly, it should just work.

I have no idea what you mean with "No thing can be selected"...

Edit: Also, are you maybe using a custom theme? Try to reproduce your issue with Garland or another core theme.

after I click "messages/new" or "messages" link --> see attachment

That is ok for /messages, but shouldn't show for the write new message page.

- The first thing I'm noticing is that you're local task links are missing, which are rather important for privatemsg. That might be a theming issue, do you have those on other links? ( like nodes, for example)

- Also, as edited in above already, can you test the same page with the Garland or another "official" (aka: part of drupal core) theme?

I have no idea why that is happening... some things you can test..

- You are using 6.x-1.1, right? Does this also happen with older releases? (1.0, and the rc's, see http://drupal.org/node/3279/release)
- Try to clear all caches and visit admin/build/modules for the menu system to rebuild.
- What other modules (privatemsg related and general) are you using? You can try to disable them and see if it's still broken. If it *does* work then, re-enable your modules one at a time until it's broken again to find out wich module is causing this.

- If you disable privatemsg, what shows at yoursite.com/messages? Should be 404

I found that is is caused by tab tamer. Thanks

Thanks rickydrupal for reporting back. I'm moving this to the tab tamer issue queue, maybe there's something they can do about the conflict.

Please add any additional information that would help.

The main thing that I need to know is what settings were used for the tabs that should have appeared on the page? If all the tabs were hidden or disabled, then this would be expected. If only one tab was left enabled, then it would not show up anyway, which is how Drupal works, so again, it would be working as expected.

Unfortunately, I can't do any more unless I get more info about the settings that were used.

I have hidden all the Privatemsg items properly but the "Write new message" option is still displaying because it's in a different tab wrapper. Same thing with the "Clone Content" link of the Node Clone content.

That's because they're not local tasks, they're local actions.

And Local Actions can't be supported by this module? Would be a great addition! :)
