How do I mass clean my pm inbox?
November 19, 2017 at 2:01 pm
Well, with the festive season approaching I am looking to do some cleaning...and I want to start by cleaning my inbox and the nearly 3000 messages contained within, but damn, cleaning all those manually looks quite daunting. So can I request a "nuke-the-inbox-from-orbit" button? Tongue

I've mass cleaned it in the past.

My advice is just stick your favorite music album on loop and listen to it while you delete them all manually. The hours will fly by.

I bet I'm much lazier than you Tongue

I don't even have a job Tongue

But yeah, I love music so music passes the time for me if I wanna do something mundane.

If you're not a music fan like me, try audiobooks?

Create a sock. 

Just thinking outside the box. Wonder if this will get my warning level up?

Funny you should mention ditching garbage. I bought a new computer, had to call my cable company because I was having issues with resetting my passwords on my new computer, found out I had over 20k junk e-mails sent to me over the years. I asked him if he could delete them all, HE DID. Took him over a half hour. I will give him credit for customer service.

A good accelerant and a match.

Wait, that's getting rid of evidence.

Never mind...

I'm filing a FOIA request even as I post this.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
