Is there a quick delete button that can be added next to emails?

more options

When reading through emails in Thunderbird there are some emails that I know I don't want to read and would rather quickly delete them without having to click on the email itself.

What I am looking for is a quick delete button similar to the 'star' button that can be added as a column. I would like a button that sits next to message titles in the email pane that allows me to quickly delete messages.

Microsoft Outlook (windows mail) has something like this on all messages and I would like if that functionality would be replicated in Thunderbird.

Are you saying that features and design of other software should not be adopted by Mozilla software? I think the past few years of Mozilla software would highly disagree.
