goToMailbox and Focus on the first message

#1306

Hi,

I have two issues / wishes as regards the "goToMailbox:" binding directive:

Using a key binding ( "goToMailbox:", "" ) put the focus on the MAILBOXES panels, which makes it impossible to combine it with some message selection. For instance, I wanted to map a key to go to a special Junk mailbox and select all messages. The following two attempts failed:

"g" = {    
  "j" = ( "goToMailbox:", "<UUID>", "selectFirstMessageRow:", "selectAll:"); /* Goto smart mailbox, Junk */
};

It seems impossible to pass a path to a submailbox directly. Can't that be changed? Ex:

"g" = {    
  "j" = ( "goToMailbox:", "/INBOX/Sub/Mailbox");
};

Issue 1: You can use makeFirstResponder: with mainOutline I believe. (But I should probably not change focus, but this is more a general issue.)

Issue 2: For goToMailbox: you must also specify the account (this restriction is documented). Try selecting the mailbox you want in the GUI and then use ⌘C to put its “UUID” on the pasteboard.

Let me know if this doesn't help.

ok, that makes sense ;)
May be you shall update the documentation to reflect that trick since the probability to wish to end on the message panel rather than the mailbox one after a goToMailbox seems huge to me.

For the other followers of this ticket, I ended with the following key binding:
```
"g" = {    
  "j" = ( "goToMailbox:", "<UUID>", "makeFirstResponder:", "mainOutline", "selectAll:"); /* Goto smart mailbox, Sysadmins Junk */
}
```
