I can't delete large numbers of multiple messages in local folders. It usually works for up to a dozen messages, selected with shift-click, but not for much more. Once that happens, I can't even delete single messages anymore. To reproduce: 1. Open local mail folder 2. Select a message 3. Scroll down a few dozen messages 3. Shift-click another message 4. Click Delete Actual result: selection moves to next message; selected messages not moved to trash Expected result: selected messages move to trash, removed from thread pane Linux build 2000.02.05.08
Reassign to jefft, cc alecf. Alec should we be able to shift-click any tree rows, whether they're in the content model or not?

I don't know actually, but shift-click seems to be broken in the last week or so.... however, I am able to delete messages on IMAP, I wonder if local mail broke recently.
Does remove *.msf help? I am having summary file problem lately. I wonder...

No, deleting .msf files didn't help.

This sounds like the same thing/resurgence of bug #24377 (and its duplicates).
Richard, is this still a problem to you? It seems working fine for me. Can you try it again? Thanks,
Yes, working fine now.

This is scarry, this is back. Multiple select 12+ msgs in Local folder, Delete, then try to do this again. Can't Delete the 2nd consecutive time. However, there are several "Delete" bugs out there, and broke Delete is inconsistant so this shouldn't be reopened or verified until those are fixed (here are two of them 32742 & 37953).

Correction bug 37953 should have been 31953.
Using builds 2000-05-17 on win98, mac and linux this is fixed. I deleted a total of 12 msgs, then 20 messages multiple selected all messages were deleted. Verified.

I see this probmen on Win32, build 2002061104. If I try and delete more than one message at a time on a local account, I can no longer use the "delete" button to delete messages, even for IMAP messages. Ironically, shift-delete works just fine.
