I'm trying to clean out my h.com inbox, and I'm wondering if there is a more efficient way to do it. When I click on a message, is there a way to delete it, and then go automatically to the next message, instead of clicking on message, clicking delete, going back to inbox, clicking on next message? What about moving to folders? I have to click on the message, read it, then go back, check the box next to it, go to the bottom, and click on move. Then I have to go back to inbox to get to the next message.

Is there a better way to do this? This is going to take me two hours at the rate I'm going.

and that's why i never bothered doing it. when it's close to the limit (300), i just delete the few last ones.

smile.gif That's encouraging! I was up in the high 70s percent. Now I'm down to 212 out of 300. If I don't do it now, it's never going to happen. I just have to get more disciplined in the future to delete right away. But for now, there's no better solution? And no, I don't want to check all and delete all. I actually value some of my PMs.

You have the option of clicking certain PM's. It's very easy - let's say you have 5 pages of PM's, you can select none, any, or all, on that page, and delete those that you selected. Of course, you need to know the content of each. One way to do it, to cull the herd, may be to select all those PM's from particular members if you know those aren't among the ones you will want to keep.
If you're going to do it page by page, then start with the most recent, since if you start with the oldest, then the pages reconfigure.

You can archive messages by having a bunch sent to your e-mail and deleting them.

I finished. 12% full, and the 12% is all in folders. I have zero messages in my inbox. And I'm exhausted! I've been working on this almost non-stop. Please, no one PM me for a little bit while I recover smile.gif

Absolutely not a need to procrastinate! I had the time. And I know I owe you a PM, as well as two other people, but your PMs got stuck in an folder because I didn't have the energy to write back right now...so hopefully I won't forget now that they're neatly stashed away. rolleyes.gif

[And you can PM me if you'd like smile.gif]

Thank you. I did not know that.
