If you're deleting all messages in a folder, several ways would
generate faster result:
1. select the folder in the account tree pane, and hit DEL. TB would
prompt you to either "delete to trash", "wipe", or "leave message
base intact". The first option would take a little longer, but still
significantly shorter than what you did. The last two options are
instant.
2. use the "Empty" command from the Folder menu. It still move files
to the recycle bin, but is still much faster. On my 200MHz machine,
deleting all messages in folder with 5300+ messages took me 1:20,
while emptying it took 50 sec.
Mark and delete is the slowest, because not only it has to move
messages to the trash folder, but also it works on one message at a
time.
