New to Thunderbird, and liking it so far. Wondered what column heading I need in order to check all messages so I can delete all at once.

Appreciate any help given.

Chosen solution

No column heading if you are looking for checkboxes.

Learn file/item selection shortcuts

Control+a is select all.

Click one item to select, hold the control key and click other items to select multiple items not in a row.

Click one item, move down several items. Hold the shift key and click a second item. This selects the 2 items clicked on and all items in between .
