This is not correct. You can easily select a block of messages and delete them. You can select ranges by clicking the checkbox of one, then shift-clicking the checkbox of another. Or you can use the "select message" keyboard shortcut. And of course you can select messages with filters or searches, and delete all matches, etc, etc, etc. > Yes, I can review subjects and check boxes as I go, then delete > those I don't want to read, but, if I recall correctly, if I check > emails for deletion, but then decide to read one after checking said boxes, > then when I return to the view displaying the subject line, the > previously checked boxes are typically unchecked, requiring me to > re-check the emails for deletion.

You can also select or deselect all messages in a view with a single click. > But my discussion began with a concern about being able to archive > conversations, in conversation view (and yes, I would like the archive > to display by Message ID, and not by Subject as Outlook does.

You asked for a solution to your problem. We gave one. You rejected it for reasons that aren't valid. What's the point of asking, if you're not willing to invest the time to see whether these solutions would work for you? If your objection to Google Apps is that you have to pay for it, that's a valid reason to reject it I guess. Although I think my own personal email is definitely worth $50 per year, I can see why other people might not place that value on their own email. But that's not even what you're doing here.
