Is there a way to display a checkbox beside each message for moving or deleting more than 1 message at once?
Embarqs' (now centurylink) mail website has an empty check-box beside each message to make it easier to sort and delete multiple messages at once, instead of moving or deleting them one at a time. Does thunderbird have the same, or a similar option, if so, how can I activate, or display it?
Thanks, Tom S.

You simply highlight the messages using the standard Windows selection keys. (I assume you're using Windows.)
To select contiguous messages, select the first one by clicking on it. Scroll to the last message you want to select and click on it while holding down the SHIFT key. All messages between the two will be selected.
To select non-contiguous messages. Click on each one while holding down the CONTROL (CTRL) key.
Once the messages are highlighted you can use most operations (such as delete or move) on the lot.
