email selection

when I view my emails in the opening table, I have to select an email to open it. Fine. If I delete that email, the blue selection line and tick carry over to the next email.

How to stop the automatic selection of the email(s)? and the tick from appearing? This has been happening for ever... and has caused the deletion of wanted emails often.

Apart from that the new version of T/Bird works well for me.

maybe it's just me... but I can't make the download blend into ThunderBird.

further ot my last email... now that I can use T/bird without the blue selection line "falling down" to the next line after a deletion, I can see that where I was is now marked by a blue dotted line... fantastic. Thanks for all your help
