Thunderbird - Trash/delete button beside star in cards view

[SkorBlizzard]

It would provide an easy one click option to delete an email without clicking the email itself and opening it.  Adding a trash button next to the star button in card view would be helpful without actually opening up the email much like how it is in Outlook would be very helpful.

I signed up to upvote this idea, been using thunderbird for a long time, and using the delete button in list view but I like card view better

The delete button on a message in table view is perhaps the one thing I click the most in Thunderbird. Removing that as an option in card view is a regression in UX.

Delete and Read/Unread toggle buttons in table view are perhaps the two things in Thunderbird I click the most. Removing them from card view is a regression in UX.

I'd love this, the delete or trash icon needs to be next to the star, not just on the right click menu. Its a lot faster to just click the trash to delete the email instead of right clicking and having to delete it that way.

I would love to see this, it would make life a little easier and is trivial to implement.

Please add the Delete button to the cards.  And please add the Mark as Junk and Archive buttons as well.  There is an entire row of space on each card for buttons and you're implementing a single button.  That is silly.  The point of the cards view is to provide more information and context-actions per email within the list.  Not having the ability to quickly act on emails in the cards view, with a single click or tap, is the reason I would not recommend Thunderbird for our workflow.  Having to right click for the context menu, as pointed out above, is not a viable alternative, especially for those of us who use alternative input methods, e.g. Wacom pens.

Would love to see this. That star is lonely and needs some friends.

While it is great to see the delete button part of the context menu, I still think too that it is needed next to the star. This is probably the most used action on an email now a days, much more than the star.

[SheldonHughes]

I signed up to request the same. Too many emails these days just need an option to delete without extra clicks.

Signed up for to vote for this. I am aware that I can delete messages from the card view with the delete key, but usually when I am clicking through my emails to review interesting ones, I don't want to take my and off the mouse to delete. Adding buttons on the bottom row (to the left of the star) for delete, archive, etc. would be excellent.
