The Alt-R keyboard shortcut for Rebuild Index doesn't work.

 * Right-click an IMAP folder and select Properties or left-click an IMAP folder and select Edit -> Folder Properties...
 * Hit Alt-R for Rebuild Index
 * Nothing happens

Clicking the Rebuild Index button works fine.

Thank you for reporting this bug and taking the time to make Ubuntu better. I have confirmed this bug with Thunderbird 2.0.0.19, so I will mark this bug as Confirmed.

For me it is working in TB 3.0b1.

Could you test this issue with latest nightly build, please: http://www.mozilla.org/developer/#builds ?

[Jgoguen+mozillabugs (jgoguen+mozillabugs)]

Would it be OK to test this with a version I compile myself? There's no 64-bit builds yet and I'd prefer to not install the 32-bit libs needed. If so, what CVS tag should I use?

[Jgoguen+mozillabugs (jgoguen+mozillabugs)]

I built and tested the latest Shredder from Mercurial and the Rebuild Index shortcut key does work as expected.

That would be because of the five-digit bug that finally got fixed, that was preventing accesskeys from working when the same key was used in different tabs - one of the retention policy checkboxes was fighting for your alt+r.

This has already been fixed in Thunderbird 3. Comment 4 from the Mozilla bug:
