What am I doing wrong. EVERY TIME I click on the "Download entire InBox in ADIF" button, the download consists of 3627 records, even when there are only 5 or 6 'actual' contacts listed as being in my inbox. Today, I moved ALL contacts to Archive (again) and re-checked my inbox.. It said that there were ZERO records. I clicked the download link (again), and yep, there it was, a file of 3627 records to download... YET AGAIN.
(I have saved screenshots if they help)

Please, someone tell me what I am doing wrong. thankyou

Until someone pipes in who actually know what they are doing - I tried downloading my ADIF and you know what? Right at the top of the listing it states all eQSLs between....so, it would appear that you are going to get the entire "Received" eQSL's regardless of whether you downloaded the file last month or yesterday or whether or not you have anything in your Inbox. My Inbox was empty yet the generated file was all inclusive.

Now, my impression of how this works may be all wrong!

I'm sure someone will jump in shortly.

John,
You're not doing anything wrong. The download link is misleading. It should say: 'Download Entire Archive in ADIF format' Yes, it would be nice to be able to download just your new InBox eQSLs. Hopefully the Admins would realize this and make seperate download links for the InBox and Archive.

Thankyou for your replies Nevis & Andy.. Yes, currently, the wording is VERY misleading.

And I agree, it should reworded so that it says "Download Entire Archive"

And yes, there SHOULD be an option to download just the current inbox...... COME ON ADMINS... FIX IT !!!!!! Its a pain in the ar$3 as it currently stands.
