Two things: View->Hide Read Messages only hides messages read up to the moment you execute it. Messages read subsequently are not hidden until you execute it again. In other words it's not like the similarly-named Hide Deleted Messages. This may or may not be the desired behaviour. Secondly, the "." shortcut only works if some message in the folder is already selected. If not, you get a text entry box in the folder list pane with a "." in it. IMHO this is completely useless. Hands up everyone who has folders with names starting with a "." -- on an IMAP server this is actually illegal. (In fact, how many people actually use the "select a new folder by typing a prefix of its name" feature?). I've reported this as a bug in the past: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=268644 This is from October 2004 and as far as I can see has had no progress. Please don't tell me to use Ctrl-]. It's hard to hit even on a US keyboard, and *really* hard to hit on many continental keyboards. poc _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
