Thanks, Kirstyn. I did find that deleting the messages to the trash was the
fastest way. It does take a few seconds but it is better than waiting for
two hours or more to delete 200 messages you have marked as read.

Hi Paul,
In my experience, if I open a folder like the InBox, and move one
message to the Trash folder, it will take some time. This happens not
only when moving, replying or forwarding an email right after the folder
containing it is opened. But when I do the same to the next emails in
that folder--delete, move, reply or forward--it will not take as long.
So I move to the Trash one email as soon as I open the InBox--the
command is CONTROL with 8 or BACKSPACE with dots 2356--and then I mark
the rest that I want to delete--the command for marking is CONTROL with
SPACE or SPACE with m--then I execute the delete command to move all of
them to the Trash. Since this is not the first time I executed a command
in the folder, the messages are deleted faster compared to what happens
if I marked all of them before using the command on just one email first.
If I mark ten messages right away, then moving them to Trash takes
about 3.5 minutes. If I delete the first one only, it takes about 30
seconds; and when I mark the other nine and delete them as a group, it
takes about 30 seconds also--a total of roughly just one minute. I
wonder if this will work for others as it does with me. In summary,
delete only one email first, then mark the others you want to move to
Trash and execute the delete command.
I hope this helps,
Kirstyn
