Added in 1.0.0 / 1.13.2

Requests the server to remove a mailbox message.

DeleteInboxItem(index)

Arguments

index

number - the index of the message (1 is the first message)

Details

• DeleteInboxItem() returns immediately but one must listen for MAIL_INBOX_UPDATE.
• The asynchronous request may fail for different reasons, such as an invalid index or when another deletion request is already in progress
• DeleteInboxItem() is an unconditional request; the server does not check whether the message still has an item or money attached.
  • The confirmation box that appears in game for these conditions is instead triggered by InboxItemCanDelete before calling DeleteInboxItem.
  • Note that InboxItemCanDelete is not a permission-checking function, it is just an API for determining whether a message is returnable (and thus has a misleading name). All messages are in fact deletable.
