Confirmed.  The POP accelerator works, but the IMAP one doesn't.

Confirmed in what version (and on what platform)? It WFM in trunk/Windows, which I suspect is due to bug 143065: a wizard is a deck under the covers and there's a second "I" accesskey for "Incoming User Name" (and has been since bug 201469 landed five years ago, without any sign of anyone noticing until now, something I'm going to be keeping in mind during accesskey arguments :).

Sorry, 2.0.0.16 on Windows has this problem.

Comment 4

[Steve Simms]

The fact that the right arrow key works as a trivial workaround even when a mouse isn't present probably helped reduce the flurry of bug reports.  :-)

Thanks. Fixed by bug 143065 (and unfixable in 2.x, since it would require changes to frozen strings) then.
