    Default New PM inbox?

    I am unable to delete individual PM's or maybe I am missing where it went since the changes. I like the thread layout but I can only choose to dump all my PM's. The old setup let us select individual PM's to delete.

    I deleted my entire inbox by mistake. My fault for clicking before looking. On the other hand, the new pm interface looks great.

    Yeah I searched around for a bit but couldn't find an option to delete single ones either. Glad it wasn't just me though!

    You go to the folder picker - pick the folder you wish to delete mail from on the right side there are little boxes - put a check next to the ones you want to delete and hit the selection bar - that opens a box where you have several options including delete

    I hope this was useful

    Does not work for me. It does work for sent items, not the inbox. That's both on a win 7 box with Chrome and iPad with Safari.

    I have the single message deletion boxes in my Sent folder but not the Inbox folder as per KrazyIvan.

    Same here. *Definitely* seems like the Inbox should act exactly as the Sent folder does. I smell a glitch.

    Unfortunately, it's not a glitch, just a lack of features.

    The new layout for PMs was the best solution to having a threaded conversation I could find. I thought it was much better than the old method, but I can certainly switch it back if the community wants. As far as archiving your messages or clearing space in our inbox, I'd download them in the 3 formats available and then empty your PMs.

    I'm certainly open to ideas.

    I can work with downloading them. Odd thing is, I emptied my box and it says I have zero messages but I can still see the threads.

    I really like the new threaded style. Replies especially are much easier.

    I have to say, unintentionally deleting all my inbox messages wasn't so bad. It kind of feels like spring cleaning.

    I can select specific emails to delete unless mistaken and can download a single PM.
