[MlMt] Deleting, moving, marking as read, and threads (new user questions)

Hello. I’m in the middle of the 30 day trial period. There are so many 
things to love about MailMate, but there are some things I haven’t 
been able to adjust to my liking. Apologies if these are repeats, but I 
couldn’t find answers in the archives.

First, is there any way to automatically mark messages as read when 
deleting them (and ideally when moving to Junk)? An unread count for 
things in the trash is distracting and annoying to me. (I know the count 
can be disabled in MailMate, but I use other clients.) The time required 
to hit ⇧⌘U over and over really adds up (especially when it includes 
switching from the mouse to the keyboard).

Semi-related to that, I typically view messages in a separate window. 
When I delete the message, the window closes, but if I move it to Junk, 
it stays open. I have the “Close window after move” preference 
enabled. Can I get the window to close when moving to junk somehow?

Finally, does anyone have any tips for dealing with threads? It seems 
cumbersome to read them (without the keyboard), but maybe I’m missing 
something. One change that would really help is if collapsed threads 
behaved more consistently. If you delete, move, or mark as read with a 
collapsed thread selected, it affects all the messages. But double 
clicking a collapsed thread or selecting it with the preview pane 
enabled doesn’t *show* all the messages. It only shows the first 
message. I find myself clicking a lot of triangles. (I know about 
⌥-click and ⌃⌘A, but that means reaching for the keyboard.)

Thanks.
