Messages not auto deleting

Hello there

My system is operating on CB1.2.1 and UDDEIM 1.7 and all seems fine except this one item - I have the deletion of messages set to 30 days but the messages are not auto deleting.

I cannot see from the configuration any other requirement to be set for auto deletion to occur.

Please can you help or point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance

Check the system tab in the backend: When are your messages purged?

Hi there

Thanks for the quick response.

Would this be the 'deletions invoked' ?

It is currently set to 'by admins only'

Thanks

Yes. Your setting means that deletions are only done when an admin visits his inbox.

So messages might not be shown in the trash after e.g. 30 days, but they are deleted from the DB when an admin visits his inbox the next time.

Hi there

Thanks - my site has been running through testing and I have just logged in Admin and visited the message box which has deleted the old messages.

Thanks again and for a great component !

Best regards
