Anybody that can direct this request, please....... My PM inbox is overflowing. It must cause the Seti servers a fit every time I try to read a new PM, because it tries to load messages that go on for YEARS. Could we get a tool that would allow one to delete all PMs received before a certain date? It would take me days to delete them one at a time. And, whilst I am at it, I requested years ago that there also be a 'sent' PM box. Time for these things to happen at this point in time? "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting."

Mark people just like you or maybe they think your insight is worthy of who knows what. |

I am just wondering if we could have a tool to deal with many year's worth of accumulation of them...LOL. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

Mine is really not that clean either, but they all saved in e-mail inbox. Ok, I will spend five minutes doing a little clean up. Pluto will always be a planet to me. Seti Ambassador Not to late to order an Anni Shirt |

Along with that, is there, or could there be, a way to retrieve PMs accidentally deleted, or better yet a confirmation pop-up when you click delete? Several times, I have clicked delete when I meant to click reply. I think the best way to implement Mark's request would be to have a check box next to each message. You go down the list and check the ones you want to delete, then click a master delete button.

Several times, I have clicked delete when I meant to click reply. It's got that already, hasn't it? Mine certainly does: the wording on the master button is "Delete selected messages". |

Several times, I have clicked delete when I meant to click reply. Duh. You're right. That should help the Kittyman. I still feel the need for it be a bit more difficult to accidentally delete.

LOL... Do you know how long it would take to click on hundreds upon hundreds of messages to mark them for deletion? I was just looking for a way to delete everything beyond a certain cut off date. I dunno, I guess my inbox is just much more robust that some. My oldest is from Fivestar Crashtest in mid 2007. Heck, maybe I should keep them for posterity.

longer than it would take to do just a few. If you want to get rid if them I suggest starting at the beginning. In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face. Diogenes Of Sinope |

LOL... At the bottom of the inbox is a nice "button" named select all. |
