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
