    Yes, but not email...goes to "downloads" file. Good way to clean up PMs FAST, without having to worry about losing an important one. You can sort through them later.

    Go to your PM page. At the top of the list is a check-box nest to the total PMs you have. Check it, and all the PMs on that page are checked and highlighted yellow. Now go near the bottom of the page, and click where it says "Move to folder". A drop-down menu appears. Choose how you want it saved...I use "text". Then click the "Go" button, and your computer downloads all of them.

    Go to the next page, and do the same. Don't forget your "sent" items, and also if you've made a separate folder, send that to "downloads" too.

    BTW...this doesn't delete your PMs...only copies them. You still have to delete them after you've saved them to "downloads". I would save one page, then while the list is still highlighted yellow, delete that page, save the next page and delete, etc. It'll help you to keep from losing track of what you have or haven't saved yet.

    What's kinda neat, is that when you go to "downloads" to view them, they're all opened up already, and it's easy to scroll through and see the content of that one PM from "Joe" that you didn't wanna delete with all the rest.

    Ryan...may I suggest that you maybe include this info in your original post? Knowing that we can do it fast without losing something important might get better results.

    Now...off to follow my own advice..."And be a juke-box-hero...got stars in his eyes..."

    What about classifieds that have a dozen or more "btt's" or members that haven't posted in the last year and have 1 or 2 posts total ? another forum I'm on deleted everyone that hadn't posted in 6 months or longer (advanced notice was posted) and things picked up speed.
