I have two computers with Windows 7 operating system. On one of my computers, when I set up my email options etc., I somehow ended up having a separate folder for Spam email with the result that all the Spam email gets downloaded on this particular computer. I end up with hundreds of emails in this particular folder every other day and have to delete them so that they don't keep taking up so much disk space. When I try to delete them, I am not able to delete them rapidly like my other folders (sent mail, received mail, etc.). I would like to get rid of this folder so that all Spam email doesn't get downloaded on this particular computer but haven't been able to do so. I have to use the delete key highlights each email individually. On my other computer, if I have a mess of emails I don't want, as for an example, in the trash folder, I simply press the control key and the A key simultaneously, and then hit the delete key with no problem. If I try to do so in the Spam folder, Thunderbird hangs up. I usually delete all the email in this folder without looking at any of the emails so I am not worried able deleting something I may want. Thanks for any help anyone can give me. Fred
