Hi!
I was looking for this but can you make a tiny modification?
You'll see, I dont want to empty all users inbox, I just want to prune PM whose date is > today+10 days for example, so every user know that any PM will be deleted when it reaches 10 days old, so I always free space from PM form active and inactive users but it wont prune todays PM.
Tnx!

Dear alehawk,
Do you checked out the product's features ?
It already allow you to determine which usergroups to prune their PMs, and after how much days (how much days old these PMs that should be pruned).

Very nice - I suppose you can disable the automatic cron job via AdminCP and only run whenever you want to manually delete all PMs?

Nice hack though - I requested something like this a while ago - nice to see such a feature - should be good.

Thanx for sharing.

Jacquii.
