[Logicmail-users] Marking message(s) as read

[wwp <sub...@fr...>]

Hello there,


I'm a new Logicmail user (currently 2.1.0.77 on a Blackberry Bold 9780).
I'm really happy with it, so glad I can manage my emails w/o the push
system, and since I'm a heavy email consumer I'm intensively testing it.

I have a set of questions and remarks mostly concerning a single topic:
marking messages as read.

1) is there a key shortcut to mark a message read from the message list?
  If not, would this be a feature to request?

2) is there a key shortcut to mark a whole folder as read (mark all
  messages in folder as read)? Would be nice if possible.

3) I noticed that replying or forwarding a message does mark it as read.
  But when pressing f or r over an incomplete message, it does just mark
  it as read - IMHO this is inconsistent because the forward/reply is
  not performed at all. I needed some time to understand what was (not)
  happening, then I noticed the partial status of the message thanks to
  the incomplete enveloppe icon. Thus I'm using f/r to mark partially
  retrieved messages as read. See how a usability issue can help
  sometimes? ;-)

4) is there a shortcut to jump to next unread message in list?

5) is there a way to empty a folder?

6) BTW, would be nice to get a little help in the application, at least
  a help page that lists available shortcuts.

7) last but not least: I retrieve emails, mark them as read. During
a further folder update, some messages might be marked as unread again.
I could not determine exactly when/how, but this is unexpected and
annoying (I get a notification whenever I should not). Does anybody
reproduce it?

I hope I'm not posting too much at once..


Regards,

For the sake of the archives, sorry for replying to myself:

1) Alt + U (same as in BB email app)

2) not directly, but exactly like in the BB email app: enter the
folder, be on top of list, press menu key, mark prior opened. Not very
convenient (has to be in folder, has to be at top of list, the BB email
app is not really a reference in terms of usability), but still there.

Is anybody watching this mailing list, BTW?

Yes, as you've no doubt discovered, many of the hotkeys and message list 
interactions are modeled on the BB email app.  (Took reading a few too 
many BB user manuals to localize them correctly.)

I've been way too busy with other things in the work/life realm for the 
past couple of months to follow up much.  I have a long overdue blog 
post that I owe everyone on that, and the future plans.  Hopefully I'll 
get to it sometime in the next several days.  (It would be nice if the 
"open to the community" aspects of a project like this meant I didn't 
have to always do everything myself, though that hasn't materialized as 
well as I've hoped.  Though I am thankful that you did reply to your 
post here so others could see it.)

Thanks a bunch for replying. I was wondering if.. well, it's good to
see someone on board.

I'd like to contribute as I see there is stuff to do, I use to do that
for some other open source and free pieces of software (I'm part of the
dev team of Claws Mail) but I'm lacking spare time, and also java
experience and maybe no real taste for it.

Maybe I'll see how I can deploy a SDK though, need to check how hard is
it but really not sure I can afford it. Not counting translators, are
you alone designing and developing LogicMail?
