How do you delete old mail from inbox?

[Stacy E. Apelt - Bladesmith]

I have a nearly full mailbox, but can't seem to find anyway of clearing out old ones I no longer need. Also, what happened to the SENT box?

I am not really happy with the new system, but that is another matter.
Also, it is hard to know where a poster lives since the location was removed from the user info header.
I will quit there.

The 'sent' folder is no longer a thing because both your sent messages and received messages from the same person are all lumped into 1 'conversation' more similar to a forum thread than a set of messages.

The easiest way to clear your mailbox of old messages is to select the checkboxes next to each conversation you want to remove, and it'll give you a button to 'leave conversation' which removes the conversation from your inbox. You can click the 'select all' to grab all conversations displayed at the time, so you can delete a full page of old 'conversations' at once.

Thanks
Wouldn't "Delete" have made more sense than "Leave Conversation" ? .... just kidding .... well not really

Actually, the new messaging system allows for more than two people to be in the conversation at the same time, so if you were in a conversation with at least 2 other people you may no longer want to get messages from that conversation but deleting it would be unfair to the other members of the conversation, so leaving it is more reasonable.

If the member has listed his location, it will be in the popup that appears when you click their name or avatar.

I understand that you can find it, but it used to be right there for everyone to see without clicking this and that. In shop talk, advice is often very location sensitive. Say a poster asks where to find a certain product. Depending on where he lives, the answer will, be different. Many of the answering posters won't bother to click and read the user info, so many of the advice posts may be useless.
