Private messaging may be useful for some very specialized cases. One example I can think of is elance.com - an online IT service marketplace that makes money by mediating between service providers and service buyers. They want to provide a private venue where buyers and providers can communicate, but they don't want them to contact each other directly (they earn from commissions). Hence, the private mailbox.
