    Often Asked - How-to Empty a Full Private Message (PM) Box

    Have received a message to say my private message inbox is nearly full. How do I delete old messages - have tried right click but can't find a delete command.

    Thanks,

    Willow

    Hi Willow!

    Yes, our internal mailboxen are limited, but you can back all your messages and empty the inbox.

    Before deleting everything, you might want to keep a copy of your messages. To do that, please scroll all the way down to the bottom of the inbox. On the left of the page you'll see a text that says:

    Download all Private Messages as:
    XML | CSV | Text


    Click on Text to download all your messages to your computer.


    To delete all messages, please scroll down to the bottom of your inbox. You will see a box titled Folder Controls and a text that says:

    Inbox contains XXX messages. You have XXX messages stored, of a total 1,000 allowed. (Empty Folder)

    Click on (Empty Folder) to nuke everything.

    Let me know if you need more help.

    Your private messages box on Treeleaf Zendo has reached 90% of your allowed quota. To ensure that you do not reach 100% of your allowed messages, you should consider archiving or deleting some of your messages.

    I think that is not an option. You can create a separate folder where you can store important messages, but all of it adds to the storage quota. To free up space, I believe only deletion is an option.

    thanks Bion. I already was afraid of that.. But the message speaks about archiving. I presume they mean archive outside treeleaf, i now suppose.

    Yeah, I did not see that option ( unless by archiving it is meant downloading them as text, which is an option if you select messages and then scroll all the way down to the bottom of page and use that little menu box that performs tasks on all selected items).
