[MlMt] Multile message deleting, how to do this with justte keyboad?
Selecting multiple messages for deletion? With th Hello everyone, I can’t remember if this had been covered on the list before, but how do you delete a large amount of messages from the inbox at once? I need to be able to do this by using the keyboard only. Because I am using non visual access techniques to read my email and the first place. Thank you all in advance for any advice or suggestions you might pass along. ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

I need to be able to do this by using the keyboard only. It's a standard list view and therefore the normal keys should work, that is, shift to select a range and the command key to select/unselect individual emails. I'm actually not sure if this works differently in VoiceOver, but I would assume that it, at least, works similar to how it would work in the Finder. If you need to delete everything in a mailbox then the context sensitive mailbox menu has en “Empty” menu item. There's a hidden preference to enable this for any mailbox. I would not use that if not really needed. “Select All” (in the View menu) and delete should be good enough in most cases and less likely to happen by accident. -- Benny ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

Hello, my goal is to delete multiple messages within a box my goal is not to entirely delete all the messages in a box. Any thoughts? In other words what I’m talking about here is selective deletion but were talking probably 1 to 500 messages at a time? Sincerely Maurice Mines. Amateur callsign, kd0iko.

In that case, you need the first part of my previous reply about using the shift key (or the command key) to change the selection of messages. But maybe I or someone else has a better reply if you describe your use case. Why do you need to delete up to 500 messages at a time? Maybe some type of autogenerated emails which could perhaps be filtered into a separate mailbox? -- Benny https://freron.com/become_a_mailmate_patron/ ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

I do the same thing as I have my RSS feed sent to my email. (I prefer MailMate to RSS clients.) Only issue when I select emails with the shift key is that, when the mailboxes refresh/sync, MailMate forgets it’s selection location. I.e., starts de-selecting items from the beginning of the selection vs. continuing to select items from the top of the list when I arrow up.

Hmm, that's an interesting problem which I'm not sure there's an easy fix for (other than maybe postpone such updates while a multi-selection is in progress...). -- Benny https://freron.com/become_a_mailmate_patron/ ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

Your proposed solution sounds like it’d work for my use case. :) On 9 Dec 2018, at 8:08, Benny Kjær Nielsen wrote: On 2 Dec 2018, at 21:48, pleasespa...@posteo.net wrote: I do the same thing as I have my RSS feed sent to my email.
