Deleting from Mail Archive?

I just discovered that my inbox contains a DU2 Mail Archive. Actually has a message there - a solicitation from August 2011. But without a delete functions.

Not that it matters, just curious why the old ones cannot be deleted.

I do delete my current messages - both sent and received.

I tried deleting one of mine while logged into DU2 to see if it would disappear here also... Make7 Feb 2014 #2

I'm not sure how it could be.

You might want to post this question in Ask the Administrators: http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=forum&id=1259

They might know how.

... but it did not. I'm not sure if they ever sync up the databases between the DU2 mailbox in the new software and the mailbox on DU2. I guess I'll have to keep an eye on my DU2 deleted PM to see if it vanishes over here at some point.

I also tried to form what I believed would be the URL to delete a DU2 mail over here if that function existed but when I loaded it, it did not delete the message.

My guess is that they just did a one time transfer of the messages from DU2 to DU3 but they are not syncing up the databases to allow deleting DU2 messages from DU3 or to show any activity here of DU2 messages (deletions or new ones) if you log in over there.

ETA: I agree with CaliforniaPeggy that this is an ATA question.
