If you want to delete a mailing list altogether, call up the mailing list overview. You now have two options:
• | Click on the Delete symbol at the end of the unwanted mailing list in the overview. |
• | Click on the name of the unwanted mailing list to call up the edit dialog. In this dialog, click on the Delete button. |
Fig. 7.6: Only after confirming that you want to Delete the mailing list by clicking again on the button will the mailing list be removed.
In both cases, the OpenEMM asks you for confirmation. This is meant to ensure that you do not inadvertently delete the wrong mailing list by clicking on it. Only after confirming that you want to Delete the mailing list by clicking again on the button will the mailing list be removed once and for all from the OpenEMM server.
Please note: You should think hard before deleting a mailing list. Once deleted from the database, it is very difficult to re-create that particular mailing list. Moreover, the permission information saved on individual recipients is also deleted so that you can no longer check whether or not a particular recipient ever subscribed to a mailing list.
