Okay...so I have 12 pages of messages in my outbox too? What does that mean?
I don't see any place to delete them....maybe they just go away by themselves after a while?

You can't delete them, only the person you sent them to can delete them. They either are holding on to them for some reason or they don't know they can delete them.

I found this old post when I searched "outbox". Mine is filling up! I don't know why people save posts, especially some dating back to the beginning of time!http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley7.gif
It looks like WAHM would auto delete them after areasonable time period. Some of these people haven't logged on in years!
Everything in my inbox has been deletedso it shows I'm down to 0%.

I don't know about eveyone else, but I save messages from people who have expressed intrest in BabyCrazy as a home business or are interested in a product so I have their info and can update them as new products and promotions arise.
This way I also have a history of thing that we have talked about. So say someone was interested in a product that has been discontinued or something to that effect. When we get something else similar I can let them know.
I think that is a pretty good reason to save these??

Yes, in instances like that I do agree with you, however I still think there should be a time limit on how long they are stored/saved out there. IMO2 years is a long time. I just want to get rid of my "clutter".
PMs in your inbox can be forwarded to your email account. If I establish a relationship with another WAHM member I tend to communicate through email. It's easier for me to keep track, but that's just me. http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley1.gifEdited by: kdesando

I agree, I do try to forward things to email. And most of my communication is done through this, I think keeping some stuff is my inbox it just a good backup.
One thing that can help with the clutter is to at least just delete when people have pm'd back and forth and there are a bunch of RE. I always just save the LAST one. It has the entire convo on it... Helps keep things pruned down a tad.

I think it is odd just because we save them in our inbox you cant delete them from your outbox. Seems like something the wahm mods should fix.
