EPim seems to be lacking in some handy shortcut keys in the mail module. These keys are present in Outlook, Outlook Express, Seamonkey, and so many others.
In particular, a way to switch from the message list pane to the message body. This is something that folks want to do frequently, as the body of a message will generally exceed the reading area. To be able to switch back and forth easily would be very nice.
Most programs use the tab key to move between the message list and the message body. Could this be made an option in the mail module of epim?
Thanks.

Re: Shortcut keys in mail
I do use the mail feature of EPIM only for testing purposes, but as far as I know the tab option should work. For me at least it does. Do you use the "standard" layout (as seen on the EPIM website: link ?
Because in this lay-out my TAB goes from 1. account to 2.search filter 3. message list and 4.message.
I can not do a SHIFT-TAB to return from the message to the message list. Although the shift tab does work in account/search filter and message list. I agree a shift-tab from messages to message list would make things easier for the people who are not using the mouse.
