[solved] Download p.m.s to clear inbox?

Postby dedanna1029 » 12 Jul 2013, 22:25

I have a couple of folders in my p.m. box that are getting pretty full. I tried downloading the messages in them using the Export this view function, but that's literally what it does. It doesn't download the messages themselves, it only downloads the view you have at the time in the box. Is there a way to download them? I'm not seeing the direct function to any more, nor am I seeing the function to "check all" like I used to.

I need to get clearing, but would like to save to my hdd if at all possible first.

Thanks.

No data retention here - just delete them.
I don't know any other way.

Ah, Mark All/etc. showed up. I guess I missed it before, maybe. Also "Export this view" to XML works. It didn't to CSV. I'll have to remember that. Thanks! They're deleted from here. Sometimes we want to keep the ones that have good tech info.
