In Thunderbird you use standard computer selection methods.
click one message to select it, then do control+a = select all
click message 1, move up or down several messages and hold the shift key while clicking message 2 = selects messages one and two and all messages in between
hold the control key while clicking random messages = select any message clicked on
hold the control key while clicking a selected message = deselect that message

To select the email you can just click on it if you want delete then you can clickon the delete button near the title of the message or press Delete Key on the keyboard
