           Summary: mark-all-message-as-read menu option has no hotkey, and
                    menu option is entertainingly difficult to reach
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: i386
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: evolution
        AssignedTo: seb128 at ubuntu.com
        ReportedBy: jamie at anchor.net.au
         QAContact: desktop-bugs at lists.ubuntu.com


So, apart from the annoyance that evo has rearranged the hotkeys -- obviously to
keep the users on their toes -- the menus have also been rearranged, so that now
"Mark all messages as read" has moved to the Folder menu.

First annoyance: there is no hotkey to call this menu item.  This bug could be
solved if this was rectified.

Second annoyance: To reach the menu item, I used to type "Alt-E R" to choose
Edit->Mark all as _R_ead.   Now it's "Alt-o s s Enter" because for some unknown
reason, the developers have chosen to use the SAME activation letter for both
_S_ubscriptions and Mark all Me_s_sages as Read.  Surely this can't be
deliberate.  But it wouldn't be an issue at all if the first annoyance didn't exist.

So, to resolve this bug, I'd like a hotkey.  If that's not possible, I can
grumpily live with a three-stroke combination.

Thanks.
