Cannot delete more than 1 email at a time even when several are selected - and the deletion is slow!

I switched to TB not that long ago and this just started being an issue. I'm trying to delete multiple emails. I will have a bunch selected and hit delete. Only one will delete and it will take forever. They are all still selected but I have to hit delete for each one.

That sounds like an anti virus issue, what anti virus program are you using? Does the problem occur of you turn off email scanning or spam management in your anti virus?

It wasn't an issue when I first switched to TB. I was able to select large groups and hit delete - voila! gone! I use avast - the free version - and I haven't changed any anti-virus, etc. settings.
