How long should we keep messages on the server? What's reasonable. 3 months? Some of those dated back to October last year.

They take up an awful lot of room on the server, so they should be purged every once in a while.

I dunno say 3 to 6 months is good

Torture the data long enough and they will confess to anything.

are you talking a systematic/automatic 60 day purge of all mailboxes? Makes sense to me. Heck, it's a free email service...if I was paying ya $7 a month...I'd pitch a fit, but I'd probably only have 15Mb of email space too.

People tend to keep EVERYTHING...I have never deleted my sent mails, although I do try to keep my received mail down to around 10 pages.

I know, I tend to keep everything too.

Maybe we need another storage bin for messages which you wish to keep, and the rest are deleted automagically every 90 days?

I know I'm not a typical member, but 40,000 members x 2500 messages = 100 million messages (I think those maths are correct).

My suggestion would be delete any read messages, or sent items that are older than 6 months (configurable of course biggrin)

My vote would be for a way to keep individual older messages if they were of value to the receiver, but definitely to have an auto delete on sent messages.

I will do that if I have to, but if I do, then what's the point of keeping messages in the inbox at all, nevermind 60 days as gav suggested. Wouldn't it be possible to have a data limit on the inbox, similar to the limit we have for the pictures in our gallery?

I wonder how many people are gonna read this post and feel obligated to go to their messages and delete almost everything lol
Guest

I say go beyond that. Are we keeping members who haven't been here in years, plus their email? We all know people change their names frequently, multiplying server space in the process.

It's something to think about.

I like the thought of it deleting every so often, but if you do have something you want to keep, another folder for just that. smile

~ "She left the web, she left the loom,
She made three paces through the room,
She saw the water-lily bloom,
She saw the helmet and the plume,
She look'd down to Camelot.
Out flew the web and floated wide;
The mirror crack'd from side to side;
"The curse is come upon me," cried
The Lady of Shalott. "

Maybe we could have an "Delete All" option for our inbox? I would probably use that all the time.


I asked Gav for that this morning, he replied I can select all and press delete - unfortuntately I had to do that 50-60 times in both my inbox and sent items. I think it will happen, he's a little busy right now.

Only 2400??? I don't see a number here on Lush, but are you suggesting I go through all 69 pages in my inbox and start deleting??? That could be an all-day project...


Grab a 16 gallon keg and make a weekend out of it. 69 pages? w00t!

I get a notification about a particular author submitting a new fantasy sometimes 3 times a day.
2-3 times a week.
With 20 favorite authors thats a potential of; 6240 a year, not counting the other stuff
3x2=6x52=312x20=6240

I like the extra storage for stuff you wanna keep idea,
then automatically delete after 31 days or so! ( the other stuff )

And WMM...thanks for the keg party/inbox clean up idea...I'll go get the keg and think about working on my inbox...

What if you added a lock message feature like what cell phones have? You can lock the messages you want so they don't get deleted. Just a thought..

Yeah, sort the messages into threads so instead of having an inbox flooded with messages, it's organized by each person. You click on that persons name and it brings up the entire conversation or whatever is going on there, with that person.

OH YES BABY Turn me on with your orgonization skills. I'm an organization freak. Add a color coding system to that and now were rocking and rolling. I always tease my friends at work because they know this of me. Sometimes I'll just scream out of my office "Can I color code that for you?" Everyone just laughs.
May your orgasms be multiple.
