Move  cursor  to  message  list area and just start typing fragment of
text.  Quick  Search window will be open, and cursor will jump to next
message  where  there  is subject or sender or addressee matching text
you  are  entering.  Pressing  Ctrl-Enter  moves  cursor  to  the next
matching message.

Something  very  similar (but without opening a window) working in the
folder tree area to find folder.

Well, OK. I never use quick seacrh. What does it do?

Now  we're  getting  to  a  sensible  zone on a related "complaint". The
recent  interface  changes  included  the  much  maligned  change to the
Next/Previous  message  buttons  which  now  have  left/right instead of
up/down arrows.

*If*  these  buttons  really meant Next/Previous regardless of direction
then  1)  the  issue you just raised disappears and 2) the graphic makes
sense  in  that  up/down  direction  loses relevance while previous/next
logic is simplified.

KR> Absolutely agree.

Personally,  I  sort  by  creation date, ascending and use the ticker to
review  all  incoming mail. I get a single review folder for the purpose
containing all of the unread mail (and *only* the unread mail) and I can
space-bar  /  cursor  / Cursor through *all* of my new mail without
any problem or hindrance.

Cheers,
Marck

This will unfortunately break the operation of the quick search

I guess it depends on what you want to do. Assume you have messages
sorted by ASCENDING date. Do you want to read the most recent message
first, then the next most recent, and so forth, moving back through
time? In other words, do you want to read the response before the
original message? If so, then it works perfectly...

To me, it's a bug; to you, maybe not. Maybe it would be best to have
an option to set the behavior.

It scrolls through the message and then jumps to the next message,
regardless of whether read or unread. It works perfectly, and there is
no need for any bug report. ;-)

AKL> Ctrl+]  - jump to the next unread (inside the current folder _only_)

Yes,  and I don't think there is a way to jump to an unread message in
anotehr folder.

AKL> Ctrl+[  - jump to the previous _unread_ (inside the current folder _only_)

As for these "short" keys, somebody suggested to change these to N for
Next Unread and so on, I think the suggestions were based on
Agent - I think that would be a good idea. Ctrl-] is really awkward to
use.

Nope. It jumps to the message below the current one in the list, which
may be read or unread, and which may have an earlier or later date,
depending on the sorting.

Yes, I consider this a bug.

Yes, this is the way to do it.

Space key - it scrolls down the message, then jumps to the next (may
be depends on the sorting order (ascending, descending)... if it does,

Ctrl+]  - jump to the next unread (inside the current folder _only_)
Ctrl+[  - jump to the previous _unread_ (inside the current folder _only_)
