Negative points: You wouldn't be able to get them back
Reason For Consideration: I just noticed that you can't delete personal messages and I just thought that it may be an idea to consider :)

Editing or Deleting Sent PMs
Unnecessary and open to abuse.

I think he is not talking about deleting sent messages. He is talking about deleting the message logs.

You cannot delete the message logs as it's subject to abuse. It's been said by the admins multiple times, but I cannot seem to find them - it was somewhere along the lines of deleting proof of rule violations and such.
I think the issue was people making trade deals, deleting the PMs said deals were made in, and then having it fall through or getting scammed and not having the PMs anymore to prove it. Same reason you can't delete posts on forums, you could say something offensive or try to scam someone and then delete the proof.
We used to be able to delete PMs and the feature got removed because of rule-breakers. You're the reason we can't have nice things, you know who you are.
PMs also used to be limited to 100 messages pre-recode. If you wanted to receive anymore PMs you needed to delete them if you reached the 100 message mark. At least that's how I remembered it.
Nowadays, the PMs are treated like conversations and I'm pretty sure there isn't a cap on how many "conversations" you can have, so on that level there's no reason to delete them.
I can see why someone would want to delete some messages but that is open to abuse as posts above me have explained.
