I am programming something like e-mail for my users. I want to allow people to select letters and delete selected. How can I do it? I can’t imagine how can I do it only with one MySQL query. Is it even possible?

If by “select” and “delete” you mean the SQL commands
SELECTandDELETE, then you don’t need to SELECT and DELETE at the same time. First run a SELECT to display the emails and to allow the user to choose which emails they want to delete. Then use the ids of the emails (usually a hidden field) to run a DELETE with aWHERE id IN (..., ..., ...).
