I used to be able to select a range of e mails using the cursor to select the first e mail and then press shift key and the last email with the cursor to select the range of e mailsin my inbox to delete them. I could use the delete key, the button in Thunderbird or right click to bring up some functiosn such as delete selected messages. When I do this now the messages, which are normally unread, show as read but have not been deleted. I try again with the now read messages but they still will not delete. Its fustrating

You may need to share more information on specifics. This works fine for me.

1. I select a range of unread e mails to delete. 2. I use one of the methods to try and delete. 3. The e mails are not deleted but go from bold to normal font to indicate they have been read but not deleted. 4. I have to delete individually which is a nusiance.

Are you using the card view or the traditional table view? I just tried in on the card view and it deleted 1.5Gb of mail, not the three selected.
