How can I select and delete messages without T'bird opening each one as it is selected?

Well, that says it.... if I select a message, say, to delete it because the subject line says "If you open this message, your computer will be instantly infected with every known malware" - - woops! the Thunderbird setup just opened it.
-- I need to select for deletion without opening -- Am I totally missing something??

Under the heading of my "totally missing something", I had a suspicion that T'bird would guard against what I was concerned about.... Nice to have that confirmed.
Also good to have the F8 tip for future use.
Thank You - from the cowtown -

  • I deleted a pop email account from mail.  How can I recover those sent messages without Time Machine?

    I deleted a pop email account from mail.  How can I recover those sent messages without Time Machine?

    Thomas,
    "Note that you were warned that this would happen and approved it.  When you delete an e-mail account in Mail, you are shown a message like the following:"
    You didn't read my problem - I said I deleted a POP email account.  I always read the messages that pop up and in Mail when you delete a POP account - IT DOESN'T TELL YOU NUTHIN!  It just deletes it - which *** for me.  Fortunately, I had an iPhone and on that device I had about a 1000 messages that I could recover but on all my POP accounts I download them from the server onto my Mac so they were only on Mail (the really old ones that I wanted to keep.)  I had to move them into another directory one by one basically because when I would move 50 some of them would move and some wouldn't and I never did figure out that problem.  Basically the ones that would not move are the ones that were associated with my domain changes with GoDaddy, and there were a lot of those.  Have no idea as to why only those were resistant to moving but I can get all that data from GoDaddy anyway.
    This thread is now moot seeing as how I've recovered everything I can and am going to just move on - and back up more often.  ;-)
    Apple and Mail need to rewrite that program to include a WARNING MESSAGE when deleting an Account in Mail that says ALL YOUR MESSAGES ARE GOING TO DISAPPEAR NEVER TO RETURN IF YOU DELETE THIS ACCOUNT, SO YOU DANG WELL BETTER HAVE A BACK UP IF YOU WANT TO KEEP ANYTHING BEFORE PRESSING THAT MINUS SYMBOL!  ;-)

  • How can I see my deleted messages on my icloud

    How can I see my deleted message and message from my icloud

    Huh? You can't. Once you delete something, well it's deleted.
    If you have a backup, that contains these deleted messages, you can restore from that backup, to restore them to your phone. If no backup, or your backup has been overwritten, then they are gone.

  • How can I identify and delete duplicates on the latest version of itunes?

    How can I identify and delete duplicates on the lastest version of iTunes?

    The show duplicates/show exact duplicates features have been left out of iTunes 11. Rumor suggests they will be restored in the next build. In the meantime I have written two Windows scripts to make playlists of Duplicates and Exact Duplicates, either from a selection of tracks or the entire library. Note that, as with the iTunes feature, this list makes no distinction between "originals" and "dupes", you have to decide which is which.
    There is also my DeDuper script for automatically removing duplicate copies but keeping one remaining copy of each set. This can preserve ratings, play counts, playlist membership, etc. which are lost in a manual clean up. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping. See this thread for background on deduping and the script.
    If you want to manually remove duplicate tracks use shift-delete to remove selected tracks from the library as well as the playlist. Keep one of each repeated group of files and don't send the others to the recycle bin unless you are sure that there are multiple files on the disc as opposed to multiple entries to the same file. Same advice to backup applies.

    A MacBook will use Time Machine to make local backups so that when connected to an external drive it will backup a lot faster.
    to disable this, you must use a command under terminal.
    to locate terminal, do a search for it under spotlight (the magnifying glass on the top right corner), should be the first hit.
    once under terminal, type the following text exactly:
    sudo tmutil disablelocal
    hit enter.
    you will be asked to input your password, if you do not have a password, you will have to create one before performing this command. after entering your password, hit enter again and close terminal.
    in a few minutes the space taken up by time machine should be cleared.

  • How can i send and receive messages through CAN

    Hi,
    how can i send and receive messages using Vector CAN CARDXL

    As mentioned in this forum post, if you have a dll, this can easily be called from LabVIEW or CVI.
    I also went to the vector website and it does look like they have LabVIEW drivers available for download.

  • How can i stop the upgrade message appearing everytime i open iphoto?

    How can i stop the upgrade message appearing everytime i open iphoto?
    It's getting ridiculous that every time i open iphoto that it insists in being upgraded and repaired. Anyone know how i can get rid of this without reinstalling it?
    Thanks

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.  
    Regards
    TD
