Does the new Melton BS website still have secure messages? 

I haven't found any method of secure messaging.
I have found them to be excellent calling by phone in the past though.

It looked as though it is now possible to request withdrawals yourself online, so perhaps they have taken the view that it is no longer needed.

I'd prefer they put it back though, as a) Some customers prefer to have a record of everything rather than communicating by phone and b) A non-urgent issue that could have been resolved by secure message may be adding to the phone queue when another customer actually needs to speak to someone.

The lack of quote meant I had to search on the previous page, but I'm still none the wiser as to which of the half a dozen building societies mentioned there you are referring to.

It was from the last 2 posts, after I asked about Melton BS's website (Regular 5)

I usually do but forgot on this occasion. Apologies.

I am pleased to report another Principality 4 account opened, on maturity of an Issue 3. I now have 3 Issue 4, despite being refused at the previous attempt. I think I chose option 2 this time, and left it till yesterday. So £200 in the new account, and the rest into my current account ready for transfer onward. 
So now I will have accounts maturing in February, one in March and one in May.

I got a form through the post the day after requesting it. No envelope included.
I decided not to bother though.
