When deleting a 'Contact' it would be nice to have the option to delete related messages to keep the content of the Inbox and sent box down.

House keeping again!

I agree with this suggestion - it is very difficult to keep up with deletions, especially when the tree is large and contacts are numerous

I'm pretty sure that is how it used to work, delete a contact and you lost sight of any messages between yourselves and any tree access either of you had. Re-establish the contact than the messages re-appeared.

Sounds as though something might have changed recently.

I agree - I'm sure it used to happen previously; but not now.
I am back using the site after a long break and I would really love to clean up all my old and non-usable message threads.
Please bring back the system where you delete a contact and it will automatically delete anything relating to them!
Thank you :-0

I had this problem during the recent site revamp. Phil Moir managed to remove them for me.

Just tested it by removing a contact I no longer need and all related messages were hidden as well.

So, looks a though it is now working again.
