Personal Messaging
Am working on setting up a new site. Right now only 2 members but in testing features we've found that sending PMs in the site results in sending to the user's personal email account and not the personal messaging system. Users would prefer to keep that information private unless releasing it to someone by design.
How can I confine personal messages to the PM system and showing the sender ONLY as the member name? What have I missed?

Hello and welcome to Elkarte!
I'm not sure I understand well your question, but have a look in Admin -> Members -> Permissions -> General Permission -> modify Regular Members and disable the option "Send emails".
Is this what you are looking for?

No. The user's real name and email address is showing up in personal messages that can only be read on the site. I don't want to stop personal messages, only the showing of personal information that all members do not need. I really don't want to stop personal messaging. If I have to do that, I'll have to go to another platform.

There is a admin/site option to prevent real email addresses from displaying.
But I can't remember where it is actually located.
If don't readily find it under admin
check out theme settings.
DEPENDING ON THAT ...
Users themself, also have the option in their profile settings.

Right now there are only 2 of us on the site, working to get it ready for more. We are NOT emailing, we are only using Personal Message and yet the full name and email address is showing up on those messages. At the moment, notifications is turned off. The other person working with me is offline at the moment or I'd try another exchange and screenshot it so you can see what I'm talking about.
Neither of us are neophytes. We know very well the differences between email and PM.

Yes I saw your message, it was fine. But that is on THIS particular site. I went ahead and turned off email to all groups but global moderators and admin and it's working. So far.
I'm a little confused on some of the other things but will manage.
