What happens to your excess PMs when donor/subscriber status ends?

I'm sure this has already been answered somewhere but, despite a good faith effort, I wasn't able to find it.  :/

 

Regular members are allowed 250 messages in their inbox while subscribers and donors have 500.  What happens if I have, say, 270 messages when my donor status runs out?  Are the 20 oldest conversations automatically erased or what?

I don't think they're erased or changed (just like how former donors/subscribers don't get their avvies and sigs suddenly shrunken).

 

If anything, I believe that you will just be limited in terms of receiving any more private messages, that is, until you have less than 250 of them.
