I need to delete about 62,000 emails. At the present course I am taking that means I will have to touch every email to delete it. Is there a setting that can delete anything older than a preset date?? Please tell me there is.
Cherry -- Sorry, but the answer is no.
Your best bet for rapid email deletion is to go to?/g/groupname/topics-test?(replace "groupname" with the name of your group). Click the "Date" link at upper right as needed to change the sort order, bringing the oldest topics to the top.
Now if you click in the checkbox at upper left, it will auto-select every topic displayed on the page. Click the red Delete button. Repeat as needed, keeping track of the displayed dates so you don't overshoot your mark.
If you need to display more entries per page, go to?
/account?page=prefs?and change the "Items per Page" entry to 100. This will allow you to delete more topics at one time.
Be careful when doing this. There is no undo feature, and once you click that Delete button, they are gone forever.
Hope this helps,
Bruce
