Maybe you can convince your users to double-click such a message first.
When it is shown in a new window, the delete button inside that window
always works on that one message.
(If your users are in any way like ours, you'll have a few that are
complaining very loudly, but can be taught how to do work around a
problem. Then, of course, some don't want to work around a problem but
insist that the program should behave the way they want.)
We recently switched from horde 3.3 to horde 5.2, so the new dynamic interface
is new to our users. On the one hand, there are always users that
don't like the
changes and want to keep the old. On the other hand, the reports indicate that
the horde/imp did not work in the way they expected.
I don't know if there is a majority of users that expected the selection
to work different, as only few users will report such problems. But if it
would be possible to change horde that it works in the way these users expect
it to work without breaking how the the other users expect horde to work
it could improve the GUI. But I don't know if it is possible or not.
Given some time the users will learn to work around and get used to
how horde works.
You can change the selection of mails by clicking on the ceckbox without
pressing Shift or Ctrl. So "issues" 3 can be solved by always using the
Ctrl key. But I guesse some of my users don't know the GUI standards or
are too lazy to eep pressing Ctrl.
When setting these checkmarks, one thing to do is to watch more closely
before clicking on the pseudo-checkbox. Only when the green box with
the checkmark is displayed below the mouse cursor, one is in "checkbox
mode" where clicking sets just this one checkbox and leaves all others
as were. Otherwise, one is in "SAA mode" and needs to use the modifier
keys (Shift and Control) to do selections. However, AFAICT, there is
no guidance to tell whether or not one is in "checkbox mode" when
removing checkmarks.
