Why do i have to click emails in, all mail, important, inbox, folders?

In my thunderbird account I have inbox, important, all mail, and several folders I have created. Why do I have to click on the same email in all folders? If I look at it in my inbox it should clear as read in all categories, but thunderbird makes me click on each folder and then find each email to stop it from showing as un-read.

I had looked at and thought to do that in the past, but the gmail tab is grey'ed and as such I didn't think I could do that. Your comments made me think it was possible and I needed to find the way and clicked on it. Then out pops the folders under gmail and click, click, click... and no more folders.
Thanks.

    You can only delete them one at a time on the iPad. If you have an IMAP email account, go to your email in on the server using a web browser and select as many as you can at a time and delete them that way. That action will be reflected on the iPad. In IMAP - whatever you do on one device syncs across all devices. If you have POP email - start deleting one at a time.

  • Why do I have to click the mouse so hard?

    Why do I have to click the mouse so hard? Whether I'm using a Bluetooth or a wired mouse, I find I have to click really hard to make it work when selecting text (in any application). This is not good for my wrist. Is anyone else experiencing this?

    two types: an old and excellent Apple wired mouse (not mighty) and a Bluetooth mouse (not mighty).

  • Why do I have to click on all of my flash components before I can navigate?

    Without modification to the code...the component is there but
    it needs to be clicked on before I can navigate the site. Should
    Dreaweaver not know how to properly insert the code necessary allow
    the flash component to view properly? What am I missing? I know
    this is a Deramweaver forum....but the problem does not not seem to
    be with Flash, it seems to be in the code that Dreamweaver creates
    when the Flash component is inserted.
    I have been able to find a work around to my problem but
    surely it is not what everyone out there is doing. If
    so...Dreamweaver or Flash has a serious bug!
    I created a site a while back and everthing worked fine. So I
    copied some code from that site to fix the new one. However even
    after copying the code I still have to modify it to make it
    work..(the modifcations are obvious.) This is suely not the way it
    is done all the time.
    I have three questions:
    1. Why did everything work fine with the first site with no
    modifications?
    2. Why do I have to copy the code to the other site after
    inserting the Flash component?
    3. Why does dreamweaver not do it for me? (it did everything
    right the other time, but now it doen't even work in the previous
    site)
    I feel like I must have changed a setting somewwhere that I
    did not realize would effect this...Perhaps it is a Dreamwweaver
    thing.
    PLEASE HELP!

    It's IE-only behaviour as a result of changes Microsoft made
    several
    years ago to their browser, regarding how Active Content
    (Flash, Quicktime
    etc)
    is handled, after losing a high profile court case.

    If you're running Dreamweaver 8.0.2/CS3, the fix is already
    built into DW's
    interface.
    If not, try

    If you want to use Flash for navigation, consider this -
    1. Some people don't have Flash installed - what do they do?
    2. Search engines don't parse Flash links - your site will
    not be spidered
    3. Screen assistive devices don't parse Flash links - what
    will those users
    do?
    4. DW cannot maintain links within a Flash movie, so if you
    move or rename
    a linked file, your navigation will break - what will you do?
    It's usually a very bad idea for these reasons...

  • Why do I have to click everything twice ?

    When is Firefox going to fix this?
    In every version after 3.6, I have had to click twice or "reload" the page. If I close the page and click again or reload the page, it immediately comes up.
    It is not because of problems in my computer. I went into safe mode and disabled all add-ons and got the same result. It happens on 80-90% of the websites. There are a few sites that consistently load immediately but most I have to reload the page or wait for the page to load which can easily take 30 seconds to a minute.
    I have a fast download of 28 and upload of 6. I have a clean computer, plenty of ram memory and have limited programs allowed to activate on start up. I usually have very few tabs open at a time. I've cleared cache and done all the usual things always recommended to do.
    This is very frustrating and it has to have something to do with bugs in changes of versions since 3.6. That version worked perfectly. These latest versions up to the most recent update have been consistently more and more problems.

    I'm with you RJ343, as an ex-software developer from the late 90's, I am appalled at the way Firefox has gone.... i recently upgraded to Windows 7 and Firefox 17 and it is disgusting the number of things that do not work,... and I have to LAUGH MY F**KING HEAD off when I hear geeks and nerds who are barely out of their cyber-nappies moan at me because I prefer 3.6 and they can't understand why i don't love the latest version... SIMPLES > because they are so full of bugs and workarounds and stupid add-ons I have to install just to go "back" to 3.6 and its glorious feature set that has since been ripped apart and hacked to smithereens and replaced with dodgy , sh*te alternatives that I'm supposed to adore ? Same with XP, I am still using it and will continue to use it until MS deliver something of quality that the users want, not what they want to force on me....
    SO back to the topic -- I landed on this page because I have noticed that in FF17 I have to keep clicking everything TWICE, to get the page to load. It happens everywhere, it's as though the focus is not set properly, and the 1st click sets that, and then I have to click again to execute. Certainly I have just registered in order to write this post, I deem it that important, and now that I am , I will have to start replying and posting the myriad of other failures by FF development team in their latest versions,.... what I find the most insulting as I mentioned, is this indoctrination that I HAVE to use the latest versions over the old, tried & tested products like 3.6, because FF will withdraw support or add-ons stop working for the old versions. I wouldn't mind, if the new versions weren't such a croc of shoite and actually worked.
    THIS BUG must be one of the most basic and incompetent of them all. Why do I have to bloody Double-click everything ??? !
    ''"3.6 was almost universally liked by everybody"'' - yes, because it was tried & tested.... obviously the latest generation of developers never heard of the old adage, "If its not broken, don't fix it"... and don't gimme all that crap about security vulnerability,.... that's just an extension of the War on Terror..... Fear is too widely traded for Functionality, and good solid TESTING , which seems to be a thing of the past. The software industry is in a crisis and soon there will be nothing that works and we will all hark back to XP and FF 3.6 as the golden age when software actually worked.

  • FW CS4 - Why do I have to click twice?

    I've been working my way through the Adobe Classroom in a Book for FW CS4, and it keeps telling me to click once, after I start the import process, to place a graphic on what I'm working on. But if I click once, nothing happens. I need to click *twice* to get the graphic to be placed.
    Why is that? Is the book wrong?
    I'm on a Mac Pro, running Leopard 10.5.8.

    Hi there:
    Thanks for the question. On Windows it seems only a single click is needed for the import function to complete itself. On the Mac, it appears you need to click once to bring the canvas "back in focus" before the import can be completed.
    I'll be sure to to make Peachpit aware of the ommission and have it posted on the Updates page at the Peachpit site.

  • Why do I have to click connect next to 802.1X every time?

    My certificates are trusted. My WPA Enterprise profile has the proper credentials. Ask to join new networks is checked. When I unplug my ethernet cable and use the wireless networking environment at my workplace, I'm always prompted to choose the network from a dialog that pops up. Whether I choose the network I always use or whether I cancel, my IP address gets self-assigned until I go into the Network prefpane and click "connect" next to 802.1X. Why do I have to do that every time?

    Open iTunes preferences and go to the Store pane, then uncheck everything, esp. the Always check for available downloads.
    oh yeah, VERY IMPORTANT... forgot to tell you that you have to be signed in to your itunes store account to make these changes, or to even see what the current settings are. If you are not signed in to your itunes account the whole pane will be dimmed and will show all boxes unchecked... HOWEVER, once you sign in to your account and open the store pane, you will be able to see the current settings AND the "Always check for available downloads box is checked by default.

  • Why do I have to click the arrow in the location (awsome) bar to load a page off a link?

    Before the tab loads and takes you to the website, I now have to click a small arrow at the far right of the location bar for it to load the page. What setting changed in Firefox 4?

    This type of problem is normally caused by using an incompatible add-on. For details of how to troubleshoot this to find out what one is causing the problem see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

  • Why do I have to click mouse multiple times to get a response? it doesn't occur in chrome.

    to select another tab or to go back a field I have to click 2 sometimes 3 times to get a response. I thought it might be my computer (win7 64 bit; wireless mouse & keyboard).
    I decided to try Google Chrome to verify if it is my machine. Chrome works just fine.
    I prefer Firefox & would like to have this problem corrected....thanks

    Hi sailor842jb,
    Thank you for your question, I understand that the mouse responsiveness is not the best. I am happy to help.
    It looks like you have a Logitech add on that is listed in your Firefox troubleshooting information. This will be disabled in Safe Mode.
    [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]] Please post back if you see improvements in Safe Mode.

  • Why do I have to click 'Open' to open an application or document,  when previously in Tiger, all I had to do was click on the line or image in Flow?

    I've only had OSX 10.8.2 this last month, but I've found that whenever I want to open a document, I have to click 'Open' in 'Perform tasks with the selected item' function (The gearwheel with dropdown arrow). When I had Tiger, all I had to do was click on the document and it would open. Am I missing something
    that would make my experience with Mountain Lion simpler?

    Hi sig, I was only referring to flow because that is just an alternative use to clicking on the line that the document shows on in either line view, but since asking the question, I have discovered that what I was missing was to double click on the line and the document opened.

  • Why do I have to click through4 or 5 web pages after clicking on "ask a new question" before I get to ask the question?

    Yes, there is a link to "Ask a new question" but it has no input box. I have to click several more times before finally getting to type my "question" - which is really only a Subject: line, not the full-fledged question that finally shows up under "add more details."
