[Feature request] New option for threads

Hello

I would like to have a command to "delete thread" without having to unstack, the thread, select all mails, and delete.
It will be a lot easier to clean some verbose mailing-lists.

Do you agree ?

regards

I'm against a too easy way to delete an entire thread. right-click an email in the thread, click "follow thread" - this creates a new filter in the panel. Clicking this filter you'll be able to open the thread, hit ctrl+a and delete all mails.

More specifically, I'd like it if selecting a collapsed thread also selects all of its messages. When trying to delete a bunch of threads in a message list, I forget to expand first and end up deleting only the first message of each thread. Also, when threads are collapsed, they're easier to deal with in this case.

Of course, it'd be nice if there was some default protection from shooting yourself in the foot.

Note though mmichel that feature requests go in the wish-list forum. Use the report link to request that it's moved.

burnout426: that was totally my point, about collapsed threads. A protection could be handy wink
