GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 302033
Make new mail items more accessible
Last modified: 2006-03-25 21:01:22 UTC
Distribution: Debian 3.1 Package: Evolution Severity: enhancement Version: GNOME2.10.1 2.2.x Gnome-Distributor: Debian Synopsis: Make new mail items more accessible Bugzilla-Product: Evolution Bugzilla-Component: Mailer Bugzilla-Version: 2.2.x Description: Please describe your feature request: I come from using thunderbird and thus ay habe uncommon expectations, but the most common task for me is to quickly scan lots of IMAP shared folders for new mail. The evo tree view displays nicely where new mail arrived, by bolding the tree item. However if I naviagate there, be it by keyboard (arrow keys) or by clicking, accessing the newly arrived mail is awkward. The tree panel has the focus and no keystroke works sufficiently to display the new mail. If I press '.', the gadget intercepts and goes into search while you type mode, as usual in GTK+ > 2.6; If I press CTRL+] (which is awkward on german keyboards) oftenly nothing happens, even the correspondig menu items are disabled. Furthermore the mail list is not scrolled, so that the new mail is visible. Thus not even a single click displays the new mail. I have to either click into the list or navigate by SHIFT+TAB; ARROW DOWN into the list. Then '.' works. A keystroke to navigate over all folders to next unread item would be vey useful (e.g. CTRL+SPACE) Please also scroll the newest unread item to the visible area, if possible. ------- Bug moved to this database by unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org 2005-04-26 11:44 ------- Unknown platform unknown.

complaining about search mode and pushing "." is also bug 300160
many of your complaints, if not all, are covered by existing seperate bug reports. workaround for navigating over all folders to next unread messages is to set up a vfolder/"search folder" containing all unread messages.
The last remaining issue probably is a duplicate of an older request, too. Till we spot that one, bug 335986 definitely covers this. :) Closing this bug report as duplicate of bug 300160. Andre, for future reference: Please open different bugs / feature requests for different issues. This makes keeping track of the individual states easier. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 300160 ***
