Delete old mails

Postby DanielMalmgren » Mon May 14, 2012 1:23 pm

Hi.
I just noticed that our ordinary users here doesn't have the excellent "Delete old mails" when right clicking on a mail folder. What permission controls the visibility of this function?

You need admin permissions on the e-mail module.

Ok. Strange decision if you ask me. Most of our users (quite naturally) doesn't have admin permissions, this is a function that would be useful for ordinary users.

We thought it would be dangerous for dummy users but perhaps we should reconsider.

Every delete action is dangerous in the hands of dummy users.

IMHO this function should be possible to disable completely for all users. If admin chose to activate it it should be available to users with "use" / "write/delete" permissions ...

I can't really see how "delete old mails" could be more dangerous than the option that deletes everything in a folder.
