Hi Ana
I am not familiar at all with Thunderbird, but in Gmail, there is a
search button and some way to specify a date range. Any chance it's
worth looking for something like that in Thunderbird?
There are a couple more contortions I have to invoke to do a mass
deletein Gmail, but surely you are not the only T-bird user who needs
this sometimes.
Best

Subject: [VICUG-L] Deleting Messages in Thunderbird
Hi all,
I've got lots of email messages in a couple of folders in thunderbird.
I'm trying to delete them, but the program crashes. I've tried with
Jaws, with NVDA, and with the screen reader off, but the messages are
still there. I've also tried by pressing ctrl+a or by pressing
shift+home to highlight everything.
I'm able to empty folders with relatively small numbers of messages (a
couple of hundred), but the closer we get to a thousand, the less
likely
the process is to work. I can sometimes highlight twenty to thirty
messages at a time and delete, but I'd like a quicker way. I've got
three thousand message in one folder, six in another, and twelve in a
third.
Thanks for any ideas.
Ciao
