I have 2 messages that my isp has labeled as spam (as they are)

1. Click on the message in the message list. It will be highlited.
2. Press Del (on keyboard) or click on the "delete" icon (7th from the
left in my Thunderbird, but I don't remenber if it was originally there)
or click on the "delete junk" icon (somewhere...) or use the menu: tools
-> delete messages marked as junk.
3. It should die now.

ps: sorry for mistakes if any, English isn't my home language.
ps2: no one have answered my question... blah.

 

Did you even read my post?
All that you just typed - I cant do!

Easy, man...

What about highliting the _folder_ & using "delete messages marked as junk"?

In my TB (1.0) it works... I dunno.

 

I wish I could help, but this has never happened to me, nor have I heard
of it happening.

Let me understand clearly. Highlighting the message and deleting,
either with the keyboard Delete key or right clicking on it anc choosing
Delete. I assume you've highlighted and chosen edit>>Delete Message too.

You've also tried to drag and drop the message to trash, all without
success.

Have you enabled Junk Mail controls, enabling moving messages when you
mark them as junk? Have you marked the messages as junk, to try to allow
the JMC to move or delete them?

When you open the messgas, do you see the contents? How about if you
View>>Message Source?

I'm going to suggest that you close TB, go to your profile folder, and
delete the .msf files for the folder in which these rogue mails reside.
Then reopen TB. It probably won't help, but they are just summary
files, which will be rebuilt, so it can't hurt to delete them.

Also, if you have not done so in a while, compact the folders.

Hey, I just had this problem. Highlighting an email and pressing the Del key just won't delete the msg. What I did was I highlighted several emails, right clicked, Delete Selected Messages. Viola! They're gone! Hope that helps.

Ask me how you could make money online!

 

TBird will not delete inbox pop3 messages

I have same problem exactly as erina above... cannot delete mail from pop3 inbox. Tried KBoard delete, icon delete, edit menu delete, r/clk menu delete all no good. Also 'Getawebcontent' above ... tried his idea of deleting a block of messages - no good either. Some messages were even test messages to myself using a second address.
