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...).

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?

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.

 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.
