Bob -
Another newbie type question ---
How does one go about "de cluttering" their "out box". I would like to delete a few of the messages I sent but keep the majority of them.
Thanks and KUDOS again to you and the other founders / honchos of this site. It it truly amazing.

Hi yn9man,
same procedure for INBOX and OUTBOX
Either:
click on the delete button on the individual posts
or:
in the message list, click on the messages you want to delete (see below, image #1), and click on "delete selected"
or:
click in the "to" box at the top of the list (image #2), and delete everything on that page.
or:
Click on the big "Delete" button at the top of the message list. (not recommended !!)
Vorsicht !! Achtung !! Careful !!
This one deletes EVERYTHING in your INBOX or OUTBOX !!!!!!
You pays yer money an' takes yer choice

Yikes ... sooooooooo many choices 
Think I will start off slowly and try clicking on the delete button on the individual posts. Wish me luck.
Many thanks for your prompt response. Much appreciated.
yn9man
P.S. Just went to my outbox (i.e. all postings listed in profile section) or what I thought what my out box. There isn't any "Delete" as an option. There are three choices (boxes) in lower right hand corner of the messages though ...reply, quote and notify.
Guess I don't understand where "outbox" is.

Hi yn9man,
as I said elsewhere
Unfortunately, there is no standard "naming convention" on RootsChat;
when talking about their input on RootsChat:
- Some people say message, meaning "Personal Message/PM"
- Some people say message, meaning "Reply to topic"
- Some people say "e-mail" meaning "Reply to Topic"
- Some people say "e-mail" meaning "Personal Message/PM"
I was referring to the PM inbox and outbox.
You can't delete your replies to topics
Bob

Hi Twinkleberry
Did you get your emails to open eventually?
If it was a Rootschat notification that you have replies, you can also get to them by pressing the 'Show replies to your posts' button at the top right of the page.
I hope this helps?
kind regards, Arranroots

Berlin Bob -
I understand about deleting personal messages (PMS).
I want to delete some of the messages I had sent that a[[ear in my profile listing of messages. I now have over 200 messages in my in box and I thought there was a way to "purge" some of them.
I figured that after awhile a large number of messages would cause / start the system to slow down.
again, thanks for your reply. I won't worry about the number of messages that pile up in my box.

Hi Heather
Welcome to Rootschat
When you click on that link it takes you to a topic named "BIRTH LOOK-UP Please" in Westmorland Lookup Requests
At some time, you have replied to this topic and "jay jay" has now replied - scroll down the page to take a look
Your inbox is for personal messages but this is actually a reply to a topic on the public boards.
Does that help?
Have sent you a personal message too.
Best wishes
Casalguidi

Hi Celia
YES!!
Personal Messages are great for passing information that you don't want to post on the boards, such as email addresses and details of living family.
BUT they can put undue pressure on RootsChat members if they are used to demand further information.
If a RootsChatter wants further assistance, the request is best placed on the same post as the original request, if it relates to it, OR a new request should be started.
Keeping all relevant info together is important - by conducting research by PM you might prevent someone from adding that vital detail that you were after in the first place.
I feel very strongly that it becomes hard to say "No" to people who make requests by PM and I know of RootsChatters who have stopped helping altogether because of constant demands on their time.
A request posted on the boards can be taken up or ignored - this is as it should be.
kind regards, Arranroots

I totally agree with you Celia .. but I think Arranroots was trying to make the point that a lot of RootsChatter's haven't the heart to advise them to do that.
They then get involved and this is something AR is trying to help us avoid for our own best interests!
