Deletion of Email Thread

[Chris Kim]

Hi all!

Does anyone know of a way to delete an entire email thread for a User? I know you can delete emails based on messageid but if it's a thread, I was wondering if there was an easy way to just delete the entire thread?

[Ross Scroggs]

You can delete the thread: gam user us...@domain.com delete thread ids <ThreadID>

Thank you Ross.

Happen to know what would be the best way to grab the thread id for an email that was sent to multiple users?

Chris,

Send me a private Meet/Zoom invitation and we'll investigate.

Thanks for meeting with me Ross!

In case someone needs it, you do still need the messageid to then grab the thread id.

gam user <EmailAddress> show threads query "rfc822msgid:<MessageID>"

Then with that output and the thread id use

gam user <EmailAddress> delete thread ids <ThreadID>
