Deleting messages

Title:
Deleting messages

Area:
Inbox

Summary:
It would be good if we could delete messages by category, e.g. all unread, all comments etc. Going into "Unread" and deleting all removes all messages. :-(

I would also like a category for cross-posting updates.

I would also like a category for cross-posting updates so I could clean those out easily.

Excellent idea!

Deleting all when you're in unread sounds like a bug to me.

more control over the Inbox / Message Center would be good.

Maybe use the gmail model with tags? It seems like the ultimate goal so we might as well skip the intermediates

I would definitely like a category in the Inbox for cross-posting notifications, it would make housekeeping much easier!
