The My messages web part, shown in the screenshot above, is an all-in-one web part consisting of particular messaging web parts found under the Messaging folder in the Web Parts directory, namely:

Contact list: Allows you to add registered users to your contact list or to remove them from the list.
Ignore list: Allows you to define which users you don't want to receive any messages from.
Inbox: Shows a list of received messages and allows replying to and deleting them.
Outbox: Shows a list of sent messages and allows deleting them.
Send message: Allows users to send messages.                

 

These web parts can be used separately on any page of the website, providing the same functionality as when used as a part of the My messages web part. You can also choose which of these web parts will be included in the My messages web part.
