I get lots of junk mail, why does it take at least 10 seconds to delete each one?

Going through about a hundred emails a day and taking ten seconds each to wait for the junk to delete gets monotonous. Yahoo and Gmail allow me to delete selected emails at once! Am I missing some feature in Thunderbird that would allow me to do this?

Try holding the ctrl key while you click to manage multiple selections. You might want to experiments with the shift key for block selection and using the two in combination to fine tune selections.

WOW! That worked great! Being able to do multiple selections was something I didn't know I could do. This will save me a lot of useless time and I am just referring to the control key trick. I'll have to experiment with the shift key idea. Thanks much Matt!

Use Ctrl+A to select everything in a list. Use CTRL to create multiple selections.

So after using CTRL+A to select everything hold CTRL to click and deselect some items.

Click a message, hold shift and click another message, everything between the clicks is selected.

Change to the Ctrl key and click on something inside the block selection to deselect it, click on unselected items to select them.

While all these are in Thunderbird, they are actually supported by almost all programs under windows and work with file manages (the windows file open box included) and just about any list your presented with.
