The module isn't dead. It works very well already on D5 and has the new maintainer, litwol, working to port it to 6.

Going back to the original topic of privatemsg, is there a

There seem to be quite a few people waiting for this to be updated,
but there does not seem to be any visible movement.

If the module is dead, is there another module with the same/similar
functionality?

(I would help, but most of it is above and beyond my coding ability.)

> litwol took it from me. Awesome. I am happy to be free from contrib as of now --  it's hard enough to get reviewers on a core patch and totally impossible to get them on contrib and I can't work like that. Lack of peer review also makes sloppy code. After this foray into contrib, I can now see this and know that contrib code has the quality it has not because the code writers suck but because there is no review. Ah well.
