Looking for tutorial on how to build a secure private messaging system using PHP.

Would be much appreciated.. So far I've been following this one http://www.astahost.com/Private-Message-System-t18247.html

Not really liking the way it's structured though. I would appreciate if anyone could point me to a nice tutorial.

I would recommend building your own as then you will be able to build it to the way you like it. I would read some tutorials and then design on paper what you want to build and then build it. You will learn more skills this way and build a better application.

The other side of the coin is what nettuts says: Social media website with these 10 code techniques

The great part about the private messaging feature is that it’s already built-in to many CMS scripts. However, many sites don’t even turn on this feature. Take advantage of this (mostly) pre-built functionality and keep your visitors happy and chatting with each other

It depends on your desired outcomes, are you learning code? Building something you want to work but dont want to reuse the skills?
