Questions:
1. how to delete message?
2. I know in general it is not useful, but ... is any way to restrict copy to
sent folders big emails?
3. Is any way to delete message without copying it to trash folder? only in
special cases, not always, only, when i want to delete message completely. Like
in explorer: "delete" moves files to "recycle bin", and "shift+deler" deletes files.

Reproducible: Always

Do you mean "Shift+Delete" didn't work?

I'm not sure, in previouse versions it worked. now i have mozilla 1.6 a6.

I cannot check, because when i click on message, it seems, that mozilla tries to
download that message (~86 Mb) and connection is ~16 kBps.

shift delete works. I'm guessing this is imap. You'll also want to do a file |
compact this folder on the folder to make the server do an expunge and reclaim
space.
