It seems I can check multiple emails using thunderbird But I have not found a way to delete a whole bunch of emails all at once so far all Ihave been able to do is delete them one at a time.. it would be nice if there would be a way to delete several emails at once with just one click, all the emails that I have selected.. does anyone know How I would do this??

You use standard computer selection methods.

control+a = select all

click message 1, move up or down several messages and hold the shift key while clicking message 2 = selects message 1 and 2 and all in between

hold the control key while clicking random messages = select any message clicked on

hold the control key when clicking a selected message = deselect that message

thanks for the help, it was most helpful... I wonder if there is any mention of this functionality in the "onboard" help file for Mozilla Thunderbirds helpfile / helper program? useful tips and info like this should maybe be included into the program, just a thought...

I doubt that there is. This is computer operating system basics that have been around for years and they just assume people know basic computer skills.

thanks for the help though, I will try to remember this bit of knowledge..
