(not to mention getting rid of the "Advance to next unread message in <folder>" dialog, but that's a different story) Of course, there's the issue of how you access those accesskeys, given that some combinations of letters and modifiers are already assigned (think N, ctrl N), but if it could be done it'd be great feature. Possibly enable as pref that keyboard only users can use to override the normal behaviour? The idea came to me while using my webmail client, squirrelmail, which has a righthand folder pane, and Find As You Type, and noticing that I can read mail in multiple folders a lot faster. Does the widget used for the folderpane support this behaviour? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
i'd probably drop the normal bindings and let you just type one letter, if you type the same letter again you'd go to the next folder w/ the same first letter. but there should be a delay before it actually loads the folder to give people a chance to avoid losing 'new' status on a folder they're just passing by.

That would be the right way (it was only Find As You Type that gave me the idea, I wasn't proposing exact FAYT behaviour).

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01". This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code. While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug (given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more reproduction information if you have it. If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved. Thank you for your help in this matter.

I still think this would be a great feature for improving keyboard accessibility in thunderbird.
