Why do people use "DELETE" as a means to archive emails? Because all I need to do is click the DELETE button, or press the DELETE key, to delete the message. I would be happy to archive my email differently, if it were even mildly convenient. In Evolution, to archive an email, I need to:
1. Right-click the email.
2. Select Move to Folder... (Steps 1. and 2. alternative is to select the email and press Shift-Ctrl-Y.)
3. Use mouse to click my archive folder in a popup window. (Alternatively, I can press down-arrow key multiple times to select my archive folder.)
4. Click the "Copy" button. (Alternatively, I can press enter key.)
If you are going to tell me to "DO IT RIGHT, ARCHIVE DON'T DELETE", I would respectfully ask you to provide me with a way to archive my message with a single key command and/or button press.
Given the fact that I DELETE (oops, I mean "archive") maybe a hundred emails a day, I will prefer to use Thunderbird for this single reason alone.
