until recently to select multiple messages on the message list pane, I held the CTRL depressed and clicked on the messages I wanted to select. Then could do an operation e.g. DELETE or MOVE on all the selected messages at once. That doesn't work anymore. Only one message can be selected at a time, and gets deselected when another message is selected. The CTRL key has no effect.

I cannot duplicate that. When I click cntl and highlight multiple messages, they all respond together as anticipated.

Thank you David. Figured the problem was local to my computer. Sure enough, I discovered that the left side CTRL key doesn't work. No problem using the right side CTRL key.
