[MlMt] Bulk deletion.

[Scott A. McIntyre]

Hi,

A curiosity I've noticed with MailMate is that if I have a lot of 
messages to delete, it won't reliably do so unless I've read them, or 
marked them as read, first.

On some mailing lists I'm on (not MailMate..) there are entire threads 
which may arrive over the course of a few hours and I have no interest 
in them, or just a lot of messages in a row from a broken cron job.  
I'll go to the Unread smart-folder I've created, see the list of 
messages in that particular Sieve-sorted folder, command-a to select all 
messages, and hit delete.

Sometimes nothing happens.  Sometimes one of the messages deletes...but 
I can't think of a time when they all actually seem to delete.

However, if I first mark them all as read and THEN delete, it seems to 
take.

Contrasted with Mail.app where if I select a range of messages or all 
messages in a folder, read or unread, and hit backspace/delete, they're 
gone...

Something to look at, or is it Just Me?
