Unexpected deletion of emails

Unintended deletion of emails. In mail if I click to delete one email, it deletes multiple unselected emails. How do I stop this?

If you have mail threading enabled deleting the first message in the thread deletes the entire thread. Is this a possibility?

No it happens with individual unthreaded emails. It's seems like I click on one, hit the trash can on the top, and it deletes the email I'm on and the next one the systems goes too. I've tried changing my mouse settings to slow double click. It is very frustrating.
