Description Havoc Pennington 2004-08-22 04:17:46 UTC 
The only way to switch folders I can find is to laboriously tab over to the
folder list?

In 1.4, I would do ctrl+G, arrow, arrow, enter

Maybe this is a support request instead of a bug report, if there's a way
to do it ;-)

I was about to file a bug about this same issue when I found this one,
so I'll just add my "ACK" here instead. 

I also find it very time consuming to have to fiddle around with the
mice or lots of tabbing to focus the folder pane thing. The old
"Ctrl-G" shortcut was very useful.
Comment 2 André Klapper 2005-06-09 15:55:30 UTC 
still valid in 2.2.3; regression.
Comment 3 André Klapper 2006-07-12 19:30:36 UTC 
"lots of tabbing"?
enable gtk quick search in the folder pane in evolution's gconf settings.
now one or two times "F6", then press "." and use the type ahead search. i don't think it's much harder now than before, comments?
Comment 4 lexual 2006-09-14 22:46:08 UTC 
If this is such a useful feature, surely a preference option should be available instead of only being able to change directly via gconf.
Comment 5 srlytle_list 2008-04-10 20:56:14 UTC 
the workaround is sub-par. i don't normally have the sidebar open. without the sidebar, f6 doesn't help at all. this worked in evolution-1, and works in outlook 2003. pretty fundamental capability.

Moving this to Mailer.
Comment 8 Milan Crha 2015-04-03 12:52:57 UTC 
Let it be View->Go to Folder (Ctrl+G).
