This is not a bug. The ctrl key allows to select isolated messages together. The shift one allows to select a range.

Hi,
yes, I agree that the ctrl key functionality is working as desired. I meant, that when I try to select multiple mails in the checkboxes, it only lets me to check one checkbox. It would be nic to be able to select multiple mails also by mouse clicking on multiple checkboxes.

I agree, I was also disappointed when I tried to select multiple messages from the quarantine. Checkboxes usually don't get unselected unless you click on them again.

The ctrl-click behavior is more suited when there is no checkbox at all.

No a blocking bug, just an unexpected behavior...

So you'd prefer not using the ctrl key for a multiple selection, right ?

No, no that is a misunderstanding, I like the ctrl method, too.

The main Problem is, when you try manually clicking on multiple check-boxes, only one can be clicked at. When you try manually, without ctrl key, click to select multiple messages via the checkboxes, only one can be selected.

Sorry if my language is a bit strange...

Example: let [_] be a checkbox.

[] - Message 1
[] - Message 2
[] - Message 3
[] - Message 4

The usual use case, is to click on the checkboxes to select multiple messages.
When I now try to click (by clicking I mean right-mouse-button-clicking) on the checkbox of the Message 1 and then additionally on the checkbox of the 3rd Message, then the webmailer drops the checkbox-marks we did, when we selected message 1 - only the last clicked checkbox will remain.

That is, when you try to select via mouse-clicking, only one checkbox and only the one that was clicked last will remain checked - all other "checked boxes" will drop...

Sorry for the confusion.

-Paul
