Re: Deleting old attachments in a free group

As with the Size column header, if you click on Date it will invert the sort order, thus displaying oldest message first.

And Bruce I understand where the Message Policies are and I had set it to "Storage Limit Reached".
What should I change it to??
My bad. It used to be called "Out of Space," when you inquired about this 4 years ago. The name has been changed since then, for no apparent reason.

Anyway, "Storage Limit Reached" is a pull-down menu. Click on it, and select "Delete Old Attachments." Be sure to save your changes.

I would actually like to go in manually and clip out an entire year.?
There is no provision to select a date range. To achieve that, you will have to edit messages one by one.?

It is very handy to attach photos which we use a lot, to the whole group (it is 20 people) rather than me having to send out to all individually.? I don't want them too downsized or they are not easily printable.
You can delete photo attachments directly from the Emailed Photos folder, if you find that more convenient. See the wiki page I sent to you earlier. That said, it?doesn't take many print-quality images to use up 1 GB. It stands to reason that if you're unwilling to resize them you will run out of space more quickly.?

I very much appreciate the help given as I am finding the Owner's manual both a little obtuse and often incorrect in procedure.?
The user interface was updated several months ago and the manuals have fallen behind. I'm told they are being worked on, and I sure hope so.?

Bruce
