Now, I can't say this for ALL interfaces, even Gmail, without some research, which I don't want to do for the sake a constructive discussion, but most of the time, I've found that I have to delete emails by checking their box or by clicking delete. In Outlook, for example, I can run down a few dozen emails and save those I want to folders, and just hit the delete key to get rid of those I don't want to save. Very fast. (Perhaps I tried the Delete key on the web interfaces, perhaps not... not sure)
Yes, I can review subjects and check boxes as I go, then delete those I don't want to read, but, if I recall correctly, if I check emails for deletion, but then decide to read one after checking said boxes, then when I return to the view displaying the subject line, the previously checked boxes are typically unchecked, requiring me to re-check the emails for deletion. I would prefer an AJAX solution with a little red X that I click and the email fades away. But my discussion began with a concern about being able to archive conversations, in conversation view (and yes, I would like the archive to display by Message ID, and not by Subject as Outlook does. It's HIGHLY ANNOYING when all messages with the same subject like "Website" get lumped into the same conversation. -----Original Message----- From: Cameron Childress [mailto:camer...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, April 17, 2013 10:28 AM To: cf-talk Subject: Re: Anyone ever created their own email archive with CF?

I thought the entire point of this thread started because you didn't want to delete things, you wanted to KEEP things. Once I started using GMail I pretty much stopped deleting emails entirely unless they were friendly spam like "monthly newsletters". But, at times when I do want to delete things, say to make more space in my account, it's very easy to search for all messages with attachments larger than X, and then "select all > delete all". What is it about deleting in a web interface that annoys you? I don't understand. -Cameron -- Cameron Childress -- p: 678.637.5072 im: cameroncf facebook <http://www.facebook.com/cameroncf> | twitter<http://twitter.com/cameronc> | google+ <https://profiles.google.com/u/0/117829379451708140985> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:355463 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
