Starting on 03/20/2014, the Delete button no longer works either in the message or view pane. Selecting the message and hitting the Delete button on my keyboard has no effect either. If I have not read the selected message, it will change to un-read but not delete it. I can move messages to folders except for Trash.

I removed and reinstalled Thunderbird but when I opened it for the first time, all my setting remained as if I never deleted it.

My PC is running Windows 7

Thunderbird version is 24.4.0

You possibly have a corrupted folder. First create a full backup of your profile.

Then try to rebuild the index file of the troubled folder. Right-click the folder - Properties - Repair Folder .
