How can I select all "Related Messages"

When I click on a message the application highlights all related messages in list view.
I like to select these highlighted messages in one shot and delete or move them. Is there an easy way to select them without going one by one and Command-click selecting them?

I have also found that if you have other emails, say in the sent folder, you can actually select (command-click) multiple mailboxes on the left pane and it mashes both mailboxes together, and then the 'conversations' have both sent and received emails in that thread.

How can I select all subject related messages from Inbox and Sent folders

L&G,
is there any way to select messages containing the same subject from the Inbox and the Sent folder by means of an keyboard shortcut. I.e. I would like to select a message in the Inbox folder and request Mail to display all related mails.
Thanks in advance for your support.

not like this. you can do a subject search inside one mailbox or in all mailboxes at once. you can not restrict a search to two mailboxes. even when searching one mailbox you have to enter the search string in the search window. there is no shortcut that will do it for you.

How can I select all stamps in a PDF file without having to click on each individual one?

I use the stamps and text box feature to mark up engineering drawings in abobe acrobat 10. Sometimes revisions come for already worked on drawings so I need to transfer my work over. Usually I just hold control and click each stamp and text box then hit CTRL+C to copy all of them. However, sometimes there are 200+ stamps on a single PDF and clicking each and every one without letting go of CTRL is a lot harder than it sounds.
Any ideas on how to do a "select all" function? (the actual select all doesn't work in this case, it looks for words.)
Thanks

Stamps are basically comments. As such, they appear in the Comments List,
where you can easily select them by clicking inside the list and then
pressing Ctrl+A.

How can i select all RAR archives in a folder and it's subfolders?

so that i can quickly move them all into the same folder to unarchive them. This is after i've decompressed a bunch of zips. Unless someone can tell me how to get 'the unarchiver' to be less dumb, and find the other pieces on it's own. I am constantly getting audio and video in this stupid file arrangement, obviously the work of an evil windows warlock.
like this
[folder]
somefile.xyz.01
[folder]
somefile.xyz.02
[folder]
somefile.xyz.03
and so on. It is driving me completely crazy because it seems like it should be such a natural thing to tell the OS- 'hey, select all the files all the way down into all the subfolders within this folder that are like this one.'
i will set up a shrine and tell tales of your greatness througout the land if you can help me figure this out.

Here's what you do...
open a console window at the root directory that contains all of the .zip files.
After you open all of the zip files you'll have a directory full of subdirectories that contain your .rar files.
Make sure your console window is pointed at the root. If you type "ls" (without the quotes) in the console you should get a directory listing showing all of the subfolders.
Now type this command into the console:
find ./ -iname "*.rar" -exec mv {} ./ \;
This command will recursively find all of the .rar files within the parent directory and then move them to the root level of the parent directory.
Now all of the .rar's will be at the same level and you can use your tool of choice to unrar them.
OOPs, I meant terminal window, NOT console window.
After I wrote this response I put together a little automator workflow and saved it as a service. Seems to work well. Just open automator and create a service. Specify that the service accepts folders from the finder. Then add a single component which is "run shell script". Set the shell script to pass input as arguments. The shell script should be set to contain this:
for f in "$@"
do
cd $f
find ./ -iname "*.rar" -exec mv {} ./ \;
done
Save with a service name: I use "unrar subfolders".
Now you simply right click on the parent folder that contains subdirectories that have segments of .rar archives. Pick the service that you created and the magic will happen and all .rar files will be at the parent level. Make sure you right click the parent folder and not just one of the .rar subfolders, that won't work.
This script can easily be modified to also do the unzip step and clean up afterwards but I like to keep my actions simple and short to avoid unintended consequences.
Those of you following along might notice that the script in fact can operate on several folders so if you select a set of folders and right click it should process all of them in turn. I haven't tested that!
The useful trick that can be used again and again is the "find ./ ########### -exec ####### ./ \;" sequence. This will recursively search from the current parent directory and execute another command on everything that the search finds. The search can be as complex as you like as can the execution step. Just make sure you really know which directory is the current parent because you can easily wind up firing this up from your account root or even system root and do nasty things!!!!!

I have an iMac which I had loaded Parallels and Windows 7. I recently uninstalled both programs. How can I delete all related files? Is there a program that will find related files and delete them?

I have an iMac on which I had installed Parallels and Windows 7 so I could some of the creativity software I was used to. I recently uninstalled both Parallels and Windows. How can I clean up my hard drive by making sure stray files from those programs have all been deleted?

If you followed these steps to uninstall Parallels (you simply drag Parallels to the Trash), that's all. Parallels is a quite clean application that does not create a lot of files in different folders.
However, you may still have the virtual machines you created in Documents folder. If you want to remove them, open a Finder window, select Documents in the sidebar and remove the Parallels folder

How can I select all images in a folder without subfolders?

Either I am looking with my nose (as we would say in The Netherlands) or it is not possible:
I have a folder A with images and in that folder there's a subfolder B. I want to rename all the images inside folder A so I want to select them all to begin with. However, clicking on folder A in LR also show all the images in folder B and therefore CTRL-A also selects them all. Now, how can I only select the ones in folder A?
Danny.

Winston's example certainly provides a method for the situation you described, but it doesn't help if you have multiple, nested subfolders. But my piece of advice is to be patient. Things will get better on this front.

How do I "Select All" email messages at once for deletion rather than touching each one?

I receive many emails each day and many of them I would like to delete all at once. But the only way so far I have been able to figure out how to do that is to manually select each and every one of the emails I want to delete then hit delete.
That is fine when I only have 5 or 6 email to get rid of, but I regularly have anywhere from 50 to 200 at a time to delete.
I cannot locate a "Select All" option in any of the menus.
Any Ideas?
Thanks
Jerry

from within the inbox, sent, trash:
menu/select, menu/select all, delete.

Stoopid question: how can I see all the messages in a thread?

I know most lists have a "show all messages in thread" option, but I can't seem to find one here. One of the topics I waned to read about has a hundred or so messages in the thread, but I can only see about 6.

Hi Paul!
If there are additional pages of messages in one topic, at the bottom of the thread page, you will see Pages: X# and the numbered pages.
You can click on Next, to advance to the following page, or choose a specific page.
You can't view all posts on one page.
EDIT: Thanks Jody! I forgot about that!

I know someone will chip in that there is a place to suggest enhancements for iOS devices ( and that this isn't it )..but this would be a nice feature..to be able to select multiple emails...the Blackberry may be a crummy camera and music player, but at least you can select and delete multiple emails.....

How can I stop all the messages in a thread opening when I only click on 1 of them?

I click to open a mail and the others in the thread also open. I only want to open one at a time. [I'm new to Thunderbird, I used to use Outlook Express. ]

re I click to open a mail and the others in the thread also open.
when you select to read an email which is part of a thread:
A single click on email will display it in the Message Pane below.
A double click will open in a new tab or window if you have this up.
A right click and select 'Open in conversation' will open a new tab showing all received and your sent responses in that thread as a list, which if you switch off the threading and choose sort by Date, will reorder the list.
What do mean by open?
Are you saying that several tabs or windows open all at once?
OR
Do you mean that you can see the email response in the Message Pane but below that email there is some more From,Sent, To, Subject headers and email content, which is what the sender was replying about.
If yes, that's because the person 'Replied' or 'forwarded' the email, so that it is part of the email.

How can you display all the messages in a thread, showing the original message on top instead of at the bottom?

I want to print an email conversation and the thread is pretty long. I want to print the conversation showing the original message first, and the last reply last, so that it reads like a book and not backwards.

You can not do that.
