    When you look on the left side in the private messages there's a link 'Edit Folders'.
    You can create more folders and move messages there but they all count to the overall limit of 500, including those in your 'Sent' folder.

    Myself - I periodically go over and remove the less important messages to free up space. For example if I go back and forth with someone a few times I usually quote the previous messages, so I delete the oldest ones and keep the newest which contains all the previous ones within it anyways. This way I essentially remove stuff that is duplicate.

    If that doesn't work there is also the other option to select some messages and download them as a file/archive on your computer. You select them with the checkboxes and on the bottom there is a menu 'Selected Messages' that has options to download them as CSV, TXT, or XML file.

    I can also increase the total limit a bit, but as long as it's something sensible it'll be the same issue when one reaches it.
