Title:
evolution should allow me to configure it to not switch emails/folders
when space is pressed at the end of a message
Status in The Evolution Mail & Calendaring Tool:
Incomplete
Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Binary package hint: evolution
Evolution has a proud new feature:
http://www.gnome.org/start/2.20/notes/en/index.html#rnusers advertises
the "Magic Space Bar", which moves the user to the next unread e-mail,
possibly in a new folder. The whole feature is making my e-mail
processing much more awkward than it should be.
I keep all my unprocessed e-mail in one inbox. When I'm done with it,
I delete it. Before anything lands in my inbox, it gets automatically
copied to an archive folder.
What used to happen: When I process e-mail, I read it each message,
pressing space to get the next windowful of text. I realize I'm at the
end of a message when the text no longer pages forward. Then I pause
and decide what to do: reply, forward, or put next actions on my to do
list (if that sounds like GTD to you, you're right). When I've done
whatever I'm going to do, if anything, I delete the e-mail (which I
can safely do, since there is an automatic archive copy).
What happens now: I have to be very careful not to press space when
I'm at the end of the message. Otherwise Evolution changes messages,
and possibly folders from the inbox to the archive folder (which takes
up to several seconds). The constant vigilance requires me to move my
eyes sideways between the text and the scrollbar, which is physically
tiring and probably bad, healthwise.
I think it should be possible for the user to disable the magic space
bar. If there is a setting for it, I haven't found it, sorry.
