housekeeping

topic posted Sun, June 8, 2008 - 11:52 AM by 
I just emptied my "sent" folder. Made me wish there was a one-button way to do that.

I'd empty my inbox, but I wish there's be a way to download a big text file of everything that's in it before I delete it.

        yes, need a better way of dealing with email on tribe, I have over a hundred pages of sent items, I cant take the time to go through and delete them.

        Also need a better way of managing membership requests for tribes you moderate, I have 150 or so almost weekly, would be nice if you could check a box for accept or decline and then at the bottom of the page hit submit once

          I had never noticed that all of the sent items are stored. I started deleting a few pages and then thought my time was worth more than to go through ALL of those e-mails, deleting them.

            Maybe it would be cool if there were an option to have them automatically deleted after a specified time unless they are saved. Like you could set it for 3 days or three weeks. All messages you have read and or responded to would just disappear unless saved. That would be good.

              Not unless I have the option to do some kind of bulk download, first.

                Agreed.

                  Honestly, if we had the option to download all of our emails (from whatever folder) and then empty the folder, I think a *lot* of people would clear their email folders and free up a *ton* of space on tribe's server(s).

          That's in place already. I don't know what it looks like with 150 requests, must be several pages, but when I get more than one membership request in a day they are listed and one can do just that, check boxes and accept all at once, even if they are requests to more than one tribe.

            Ya. When I was moderating a tribe, before I made it public, I'd get a bunch of requests and remember being able to accept them all at once.

              I dont see why most tribes arent just public. The only reason I had them moderated for the most part was to keep certain "people" out. Now that those or that person are supposedly gone I have made most of them public again. There are alot of tribe that I honestly see no reason why it shouldnt be public. I mean why would someone have to be declined or accepted. It's kind of rediculous.

    Let me say again, it would be great to have a way to download my inbox to my hard-drive so I could empty it more often.

    And it would similarly be great to have a bulk way to empty my SENT messages, too.

      I don't even have a sent messages thingy that I know of. Where the hell is this thing? I've never deleted ANY sent messages so if there is such a thing it has every message I ever sent since I joined. It could be fun to go back and read some of the shit I wrote to people. lol

        If you go into "my messages," in the bar down the left-hand side you'll see links for "inbox," "other mail," "sent," "saved," and "ignore list." Just click on "sent."

        Although I find it hard to believe that you wouldn't have seen this by now, so maybe you're asking a question completely different from the question I'm answering.

          Actually I'd never clicked on that before. I went back to 01/01/07 and there were 400 pages of messages. I was gonna keep going back till the day I joined and see how many there are but wasnt sure how long it would take and didnt want to spend the time. That's insane. I had no idea all those were saved. It was interesting to see some messages to people sent over a year ago. I didnt realize I'd been talking to Motumba for over a year now. lol What a trip.

          And I do think it's a huge waste of space. If people want to save messages they should save them or have them automatically delete after a specified time not exceeding 60 days.
