Title: Ability to bulk-delete private messages.
Post by: sk0rt on June 18, 2013, 03:48 pm
Two days ago I received 40-50 spam messages from random people on this forum, and because of the slow nature of Tor it takes absolute aeons to delete them all.

It would be much more convenient to have a checkbox next to each message that I could tick and then choose "Delete all" from an actions panel of some sort.

It's not even programatically hard!

Do the following:

1. Go to "My Messages"
2. Hover over "Preferences" then click "Manage Rules"
3. Click "Add New Rule"
4. Input the following

Criteria: Message Subject Contains
Then add the URL or exact copy & paste message subject into the blank box, I have mine setup for all the following:

bitcoinarr.com
bitswing.com
www.btkoin.com

For "When Checking Criteria" use "All Criteria Must Be Met"

Then go to "Actions" and use "Delete Message"

Then click "Save Rule" and all message headers with that URL or whatever you put in are automatically deleted

5. Now go to your "Manage Rules" page again and click "Apply Rules Now" and it should remove all of those already in your mailbox

Enjoy a spam free mailbox and anything that gets through, just add their URL to the list.

Or at least that works until a filter can be set up, which I should note, you can find freely and widely as a SMF add-on and takes ~30-60 seconds to install.
