Well, MUAs, browsers, Office apps, etc. are totally different apps, with totally different needs for proper accelerators. Ctrl-F in the Mail Component is Forwarding a message. It has been like that for a long time (always?), and it definitely should not change (read: break) for the users. At least my (personal) use case for "searching" does not involve "Search in Message". In fact, IIRC I used it about 2 times during all those years I'm very actively using and supporting Evolution. The average Mail isn't that large, that I cannot easily spot what I'm looking for inside the mail. The search action I *do* use often though is searching for a particular mail that contains special words inside one (or more) large folders full of mails... The search bar. :-) Anyway, back to your issue: If both of those "Search" or "Find" actions should be more consistent, it really should be "Search". * We definitely should not change the Forward mail accelerator in the Mail Component. * Granted, Ctrl-S currently is used in the Composer. But that's not a real concern to me. Saving mails out of the Composer is a broken option anyway, as there is no way to easily "Load" that saved mail... (as opposed to save as a draft) IMHO the File / Save option in the Composer can be removed.
