Lack of a shortcut to go directly to INBOX folder. 
In example in Outlook this shortcut is CTRL+ALT+I and it's very useful (I know,
it's incredible for MS) for those who have a lot of folders.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Mail/News
2.Go to a folder far far from the Inbox one :)
3.Then select it. Then read messages, and read.
3.Then return to Inbox.

Errata corrige: Outlook uses CTRL+SHIFT+I, not ALT
Sorry for the error.

I like that idea. Confirming.

Please add at least an option for user.js or the other configuration files, so
the experienced user can add it manually.

Seems to resemble bug 207567.

Workaround: this creates the desired key binding by means of an extension. I use it myself on Sm trunk nightlies (currently 2.0a2pre).

1. Install the keyconfig extension and restart SeaMonkey.
2. Make the main Mail/News window current (i.e., give it the focus).
3. Use keyconfig to create a new key binding with any key you like (I use Ctrl+I) and the following code:

SelectFolder('mailbox://nobody@Local%20Folders/Inbox');SetFocusThreadPane();

The "name" of the new binding can be anything you like; I recommend trying to use something different from existing names (e.g. LG_GoToInbox where LG are your initials)

Since new bindings are only applied to new windows, you will have to close and reopen the mail/news windows for the new binding to take effect. Browser (or ChatZilla) can stay up.
