Why is deleting an e-mail message slow ?
What is the code some advertisement sender use what makes Thunderbird freeze when even touch this e-mail ? Can it be harmfull and like a virus ? Example who sent the slow down e-mails is newsletter@tito-express.de
I have also heard there is so called self-destructive e-mails , how are these done ??

What is your anti-virus software?

Not in Thunderbird.

Not sure what exactly you heard. I doubt there are self-destructing emails at all.
Freezing the thunderbird will only happen with this senders e-mails. Not even depending upon the size. So there must be something in the mail.
Self-destruct mail I have heard from trusted person who claimed that he had a telephone number by mail saying that write down the number now as the mail will destroy itself...could this be some apple etc. Application...
Please forward me an example of the offending email. Send it as an attachment.

For malicious code to do something it has to be evaluated or executed. Thunderbird does not run the type of script (javascript) that can be embedded in email.
I'd suspect this message has many links to content on a slow-responding server.
I think your "trusted person" may mean well but I believe his advice is misleading.
