If someone creates an app that lets me select ALL unread messages, like every last one, not just that paginated group and mark them as read, I will love you. My fb mailbox is 500+ unread now and id like to have it put down to zero so I can actually use it.
- GraffitiTim 17y agoThe inbox API is read-only, so that app can't currently be built.
- jasonlbaptiste 17y agoyeah, saw that. my thought is that if you query a message and its sent, fb would mark that read on their end? Couldn't you query all messages that are unread, execute a basic loop statement, and call it a day. Not sure how rate limiting would play into it.
- ryanwaggoner 17y agoCould you create some kind of macro that pages through, then selects all unread, then marks as read? Maybe with something like this: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3863 https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3863
