> * The entire Tools->Import dialog (convert to wizard?)
this patch adds accesskeys for the all items except navigation buttons, those will be replaced by <wizard>'s default buttons once Import dialog is converted to use <wizard> widget - Bug 101874

>  * Preferences->Notifications/
>     - "Custom .wav file" could focus the textbox.
fixed when prefpanes migrated to <preferences>

>  * Preferences->Labels/
>     - Could add XUL labels with "1"-"5" and numbers as accesskeys.
insufficient, still no way to bring up Select Color dialog. I think we can live without accesskeys here 

>  * <Account>/
>      Drafts folder/

>          "Edit Draft..."-button.
Do we want this? Included in the patch through, it seems to be usable. I'll remove it, if we don't want it here. The Shredder guys don't use accesskeys for message header buttons.

The same question as above. Included in the patch too, works fine.

Already fixed

Besides these the patch is adding:
- accesskeys for Back and Forward menuitems in SeaMonkey Mail -> Go menu
- accesskey for "Download messages now" option in Account Wizard

add accesskeys, v1

Looks reasonable to me but I think Mnyromyr should see the patch too.

Uppercase I (and lowercase l or a simple 1) are extremely bad choices for accesskeys.
'e' is a more logical choice here.

If attributes don't fit onto a single line, each line should have just one attribute, with all attributes aligned vertically. The attributes should be roughly ordered id-label/value-accesskey-key-other_attributes-js_code_attributes. (See the menuitems in mailWindowOverlay.xul already in your patch.)
This comment holds for almost all of your XUL changes, so I won't repeat them individually.

See above, use 'e'.

Vertically align the edit entities with those following.

And change the case of the label to "Import Everything" perhaps?
All comments addressed.

Please, guys, to make this easier for everyone: have a session, make a mandatory decision on how to wrap these attributes and ask everyone to follow it. Because it's extremely confusing when different reviewers are asking me to wrap this in different ways. Thx.

Well, basically, we have just two set rules:
1. Mozilla Coding Style Guidelines, which don't help for XUL and 
   are superimposed by
2. When in Rome, do as the Romans do, iow fit into a file's prevalent
   style.

MailNews in particular has the problem of being just the outskirts
of the Empire, with Barbarians running all around, bringing along
their own special ways and such...
We try to work towards a common style, but sadly not everybody 
cares and (especially with coding style) not everybody agrees upon 
the target...

The overall principle of source code styling should be *readability* -
there's one writing it but hundreds reading it!
