Group inboxes and archives are visible even when empty

Hello folks,

We have a number of old groups at our site which don’t have any messages in their inbox or archive, but they’re still visible in the sidebar and at /my/messages.

I found this old topic, but it doesn’t provide a solution that works for me: Messaging: Group inboxes and archives show even after all messages deleted

Any other ideas?

These old groups… I am wondering if you edit group and change

“who can message this group?” To Nobody?

Or do these old groups still require to have a group mail box?

I apologize for not responding sooner, but all the groups have “who can messages this group” set to “Nobody”.

Anything else I can check?

That definitely sounds like a bug. If set to nobody the group mailbox imho should not be visible.

I imagine a workaround fix could be to use the Theme component to add groups as classes and then use each group class to display none on group mailboxes that are set to nobody. I say to use group classes as I imagine if you use CSS to hide them in general it might also hide the moderators group mail box.
