Option to mass delete and sell mail and gear.

Brought up a couple of times and on the Steam Sub Forum. What are the chances of us seeing the ability to delete mail in mass quantity as well as unwanted gear in our inventories in the May content update?

I bet this is the wrong place to ask this too. :p

    The danger of mass delete is accidentally deleting something that you want to keep and can't retrieve, it's not worth the risk for such a minor convenience.
    If something is not broken, don't fix it, if it is broken, don't leave it broken.
    Oh Hell NO to ARC

    We almost have undoable mass delete for inventory though. Just open up your Replicator from your Inventory window and just start hitting the Sell button in the Sell tab. If there is an accident, you can use the Retrieve tab (assuming you catch your error before a map switch).

    There are a couple of trivial opportunities for the developers to increase the user-friendliness though:
    1) Tribbles and Lockboxes should be sellable for 0 EC
    2) Holding down Ctrl while hitting the Sell button should sell whole stacks without prompting.

    I would prefer if we could get acess to our in game mail through the Forum again.

    I have so much mail in game i am afraid my computer will fry if i open it again ingame. :(

    There NEEDS to be a mass delete for mail in game. I must have over 1000 mail messages, and I don't want to have to click 1000 or more times to delete it. I have so many, the game lags when I open up the mail. Please, and thank you!

    position the "delete" button of the mail window to be under the "Ok" of the confirmation window.
    Then, go on a clicking frenzy and delete everything. a 1000 clicks should take you about 2 minutes.

    If the game lags too much for you to do it, try to start the game in Safe Mode, with lower settings the lag is usually not as disruptive.

    Not really the point though there should be a option lol you wouldn't catch windows mail or Google with out mass delete

    Plus I tried that and gave up after a while I got bored of clicking

    I would like to see a button to delete all mail messages from the exchange that told you that you had sold something. Sub-Folders to organize our mail would be nice as well.
