780461 - Add "Archive" command to the "Search Messages" dialog

Status: NEW

(Thunderbird :: Search, defect)

Description

[Chris Rodgers]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/536.11 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/20.0.1132.47 Safari/536.11

Steps to reproduce:

Click CTRL-SHIFT-F.
Run a search for messages larger than 5MB in all folders.
Want to be able to use the "Archive command on these".

Selected the messages results and pressed "A". Looked for a command in the menus/buttons available.


Actual results:

Nothing. There is no option for archiving here.


Expected results:

An archive button should be available and the "A" hotkey should be active.

Then my large messages would be archived in a straightforward manner.

WORKAROUND: For now, save the results as a search folder in the local inbox. Then move into that folder. Press CTRL-A in the message pane, then press "A". The messages will be archived.

Valid request. I especially like the keyboard shortcut aspect. No reason why keyboard shortcuts that work in other message lists should not work for Advanced Search Messages results. We need a new bug to enable all keyboard shortcuts that make sense for advanced search results.

Proposed implementation:
- make the toolbar in search results customizable
- add archive button to toolbar customization
- add keyboard shortcut "A" for archiving messages
