+Feature: Self conversation
+  In order to have self-conversations
+  As a user
+  I need to be able to send messages to myself and read them
+
+  Background:
+    Given the following "users" exist:
+      | username | firstname | lastname | email                |
+      | student1 | Student   | 1        | student1@example.com |
+    And the following config values are set as admin:
+      | messaging | 1 |
+
+  Scenario: Self conversation exists
+    Given I log in as "student1"
+    When I open messaging
+    Then "Student 1" "group_message" should exist
+    And I select "Student" conversation in messaging
+    And I should see "Personal space"
+
+  Scenario: Self conversation can be unstarred
+    Given I log in as "student1"
+    When I open messaging
+    Then "Student 1" "group_message" should exist
+    And I select "Student" conversation in messaging
+    And I open contact menu
+    And I click on "Unstar" "link" in the "Student 1" "group_message_header"
+    And I go back in "view-conversation" message drawer
+    And I open the "Starred" conversations list
+    And I should not see "Student 1" in the "favourites" "group_message_list_area"
+    And I open the "Private" conversations list
+    And I should see "Student 1" in the "messages" "group_message_list_area"
+
+  Scenario: Self conversation can be deleted

+    And I should see "Delete"
