Due to Gmails good anti-spam you do not have to do much deleting. If you click the check box next to 10 emails, then go in and read one of them, when you return those 10 emails will still be checked, it does remember it. You can also select multiple emails in 2 clicks (same as outlook)
click the first checkbox, SHIFT click the next one, and all emails inbetween will be selected so the only real difference is that you have to click a delete button instead of delete key on keyboard. that costs you like 1 second more max to move the mouse and click delete, can;t really see how this is hard work i'm afraid ?
