hello everyone. Well, i would like to know the email command to purge all mail. I have a mail box that is so unkept that i can't openned without massive lag. I remember looking at the merchant forum long ago, and saw the command. I tried searching for it, but i can't locate it within the first 25 pages. Could someone give me the in-game command for deleting all mail? Thank you for your time.

have you tried /maildelete?
I know /mailsave works to export your mail, so maybe the /maildelete will rid all in-game mail.

Well I noticed the following:
The moment you mark an email it gets requested from the server, and during that time, operations on emails (like delete) are terribly unreliable.
There is a way around it though:
- type /mailsave in your command line
- it will tell you "Requesting XXXX message bodies"
- it will take aproximately 1 minute for 100 mails to download, so if its 2000 mails it will be finished in 20 minutes, you can play normally all the time won't notice anything different.
- after its done it you get a message "XXXX message successfully written to disk". Advantage now is, that all message bodies have been requested already, so if you mark them now, they won't be anymore.
- Just mark all messages you want to delete and press the delete button. To mark all messages: Click the first message, scroll down, keep the shift-key pressed while you mark the last one you want to delete, and then press "Delete"
- (optional step): If you don't want to keep the messages safed on your disk (I'd recommend it, you never know if you need anything again), go to the folder profiles\[your account]\[your Galaxy]\mail_[Your Charactername] and delete all the *.mail files in there (each file is one email)

To empty your mailbox without opening and deleting them all type /empty. The actual command is /emptyMail but just /empty works. It will ask for comfirmation before it does it though.
