I don't know if that worked with 10.2 Mail.app, but with 10.3 Mail.app you can drag messages to the dock's trash to delete them.

perfect timing
I'll share this in case it is helpful to others. This morning I discovered a bug in Mail.app that causes it to crash when receiving a digitally signed (via Verisign) message from an Outlook 2003 (windows) user. The crash happens when selecting the message, which makes it impossible to delete. I submitted a bug report to Apple.
perfect timing
Actually, it's pretty easy to select messages without opening them -- just drag the preview window all the way down. If there's no preview window, it doesn't open the message when you select it.
perfect timing
not sure if this will help, but if you selected the message right above the offending message, then shift-select the offending message, you should be able to delete them both without crashing...i do that with spam when i do not want the images loaded.
10.3: Drag Mail messages to the dock's trash
Also works in 10.2
10.3: Drag Mail messages to the dock's trash
This is the sort of item that makes Macs usable for people like your parents. A cohesive set of rules you can give them like "drag it to the trash" work all over. |
