Is there an easier way to find and review old messages and delete them if you need to?

Bo - Messages are not deleted. There are two tables, one for unread messages and the other for read messages. Once the message is viewed, it is moved to the read messages table where you can then use the message history to look at your communications with a particular user. This is very helpful for student/teacher communications as you have a log that you can go back and review. Why might you need to delete the message? Peace - Anthony

In a hospital setting, using it as a method of more secure internal messaging, it would be nice to have a way to clean up one's messages by deleting them.
