Delete a mail directly from notification

[ergias]

When I receive an email in thunderbird I know I won't read (an advertisement for instance), that should be useful to delete this mail directly from the notification that appears on top of the screen (see this screenshot showing such a notification)

I totally agree, all other email clients have this function, need to add check box, or a trash can icon or maybe both. some emails you just don't want to open and to be able to delete them easy without having to scroll all over the screen or not to right click scroll down a very long menu to find the delete command would save a lot of time and frustration.

With all the scam and phishing mail that circulates in today's world, you have to be extremely careful. Some emails that you receive, you don't want to click on, even though it might do any damage, it sends a verification that it's a ligament email, and then the trash emails starts poring in. SO, IT WOULD BE A GREAT PLUS TO HAVE A TRASH CAN ICON THAT SHOWS ON EVERY EMAIL, with the ability to delete without clicking. Almost every other email client has this feature. I have work with computer's science the early 80's an I have always tried to use software that was included with the operating system. Now that Microsoft is forcing their new mail app on everybody which don't even work, I have been trying every mail client that I can find, I think this may be one of the best, still needs a little improvement, but it gets the job done.

Include a "Delete" button on Thunderbird pop-up notifications

Came to Thunderbird recently after MS discontinued its Windows Mail and Calendar apps. I miss the ability to delete an email directly from the notification box. Please consider adding this functionality. Thanks.

It's the only missing feature for me to move from Apple Mail to Thunderbird.

wow this has been ongoing since 2022? would be really useful if it could get done (for all the reasons posted by everyone in the previous 2 years) -- but considering the popup notification is "not" from thunderbird itself but usually from windows (or whatever OS you use that has notification)... could it even be done by thunderbird at all??

@HawkX For me, this only changed from a custom popup to a typical Windows/Action Center Notification a few months ago, I suppose based on a Thunderbird Update, not a Windows update. So TBird developers actually burned the bridges a bit to integrating that feature.

If you could implement this feature, it would be very helpful indeed ! Isn’t it doable through extensions ?

Delete button on notification & email list

Hello,

I would greatly appreciate being able to delete some messages directly by clicking a button on the notification as soon as they appear.

Also, small buttons to delete and mark read/unread messages directly in the message list would also be a big time saver.

What do you think?

Thanks

Yep - Totally useful feature. Just seen another spam notification. A quick click on the popup is easier than dismiss, open app (when it opens), delete email, minimise, etc. Just WAY more efficient

Like a lot of other people on here, this is one of the things that Outlook actually got right. Used to use TB years ago, even at work, but then we moved to Exchange, which wasn't supported by TB at the time, so I had to move to Outlook. Now that I'm my own boss now, and Outlook keeps getting worse instead of better, I've come back to TB. I'm generally liking it better than Outlook, but being able to delete trash email from the notification popup is one function I miss from Outlook. That's especially convenient and less interruption when the email program is on a 2nd monitor and the popup is on the monitor you're actually working on.
