RE: Cannot delete all archived messages at once

Hi all,

When using the form method "get", a query-string is used to submit form data to the server:

URI?name=value&name=value[etc]

When there are many archived messages to be deleted, the query string becomes very long When its exceeds a certain length, at least Internet Explorer doesn't submit the form anymore Maybe there is a length restriction for a URI? Otherwise this is a restriction for at least IE

The problem can be easily solved Since "mail cgi" use a CGI object to obtain form data, the form method can be changed into "post" because this kind of form data which is put into the body of the message, will be read by the CGI object as well

So I changed the following line in sub "view_archive" (module mail cgi):

print '

';

into:

print '';

and now it works! (tested for over 125 archived messages deleted at once)

Hi Frans,

When I use the "check all" link at the archive menu, and push the Delete button, nothing happens! It even looks like the form is not submitted at all There are about 100 archived messages

This is an old bug, I reported this when we were still at 2 8 something in the forums, I think it is still in bugtraq as well I also opted for a function to be able to delete messages 20 to 36 or something like that I think it is still on the TODO-list

BTW, nice investigative skills there on the archives lock/ dada_bridge problem

Groeten, Alfred
