When you first open TB and select a folder the threads are compressed. So if you go into the message list pane and select all (Ctrl+A) it may look like you have selected all the message because they are highlighted, however you have only selected the message that are visible because most people thread by reference. On the menu see View | View threads by. So go to the message list pane and first select no threading (Alt+0) which will make all messages visible, the select all (Ctrl+A) and hit delete. Now technically you haven't actually deleted the messages because they are still in your trash folder until you compress. You can select to compress all folders on exit within an account or on an individual folder basis, or the folders manually. Depending upon the speed of your PC and the size of your message base may determine when you do the compress. I compress all accounts on exit which is set in the account properties (Shift+Cntl+P) under options. > If I mark all messages as read, can I then somehow delete them?
