Another Useless App - by me - Motorola Q Forum

dburkinshaw · 05-06-2008, 09:30 PM

I've read some posts where people have asked for a program to select multiple SMS Messages for deletion. I got ambitious (or bored) and created one. Originally it was an app to export SMS messages to a CSV file (both Inbox and Sent) so I could save them to an Excel Spreadsheet. I then added the functionality to delete selected messages from the Inbox and Sent folders. It is written in C# and has been tested on the Q only. Visit my site www.dburkinshaw.com for details. Email me and I'll send you the CAB file for installation (dburkinshaw@dburkinshaw.com).
Enjoy.

This is just a guess, but it sounds like instead of having to "delete all" like Inbox Extender does, you can select just certain messages to delete (like all the subway orders my wife sends me) without having to delete them one at a time.

When you select "Inbox" or "Sent" the screen fills with the messages and each message has a check box. You can then select any message (suppose I could add a "Check All" and "Uncheck All" option) and when you click the delete button it'll remove only those that have been deleted. I've never heard of Inbox Extender so I'm not familiar with what that does. This app was more of a "Something to do" project that I thought I would share.

in that case i will retract my previous statements...

Inbox Extender adds a "Delete All" and "Mark All as Read" option to tmail...
