Beth, INSIDE a thread hold down on any of the messages, choose “more” then the same circles open for you to check, do as many as you want and then hit delete…leaving only the ones you want to save. Yes, if you don’t get the job done and it goes to sleep those you have marked will now need to be remarked…however it does take me back to where I was rather than at the beginning or ending of the thread but all those checked are now unchecked…I guess this is a safety thing?
