223341 - UI for moving a message uses too many submenus

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 253964

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, enhancement)

Description

[rich cowan]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird 0.3

Elderly users or people new to using a mouse are going to
find it very difficult to move a message because the command
for that is buried in submenus. It would make more sense to
have a separate menu entirely, called "Xfer". Then you
would click on Xfer->, and possibly the top level mailboxes
of the currently selected email account
could be in the menu that appeared after that, making it
much easier for people who do not find using a mouse
second-nature. This is similar to what Eudora has done, and
it is worth copying. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  No setup required
2.
3.




This is both an enhancement and a correction to
a UI issue that could be a problem that will
prevent Thunderbird adoption.

Even tho this bug is older, I'm duping it to the newer one because there are 
some good, and detailed, descriptions there.  I'm also going to copy the 
suggestion in this bug to that one.
