Having this problem with TB3 on my Mac only (10.6):  Sometimes the delete button associated with the message window won't delete a message, and when I move the mouse back to that message and any below it, they all disappear.  Workaround has been to got to messages in another folder, then come back.

Any one else had this issue?  Advice?

I should have added that this is with the default theme, although it happens with other themes as well.

I've occasionally had the problem of not being able to delete messages
when the folders were in need of compacting. Just a thought.

Carey,

Do you see this only in a "smart folder"?

I have the "smart folder" option on all the time.  I'll switch over and check.  Stay tuned...

BTW, in answer to another suggestion, compacting folders seems not to have helped.
