Woops! My response above was incorrect--it was regarding a different bug... sorry for my mistake.

Now, recognizing the context of *this* bug, what I was mentioning is that when you use the hierarchical menu for moving messages (without using 'm' shortcut, but rather by using "message... move...") then keyboard accelerators are too quick to operate.  Many of us who deal with lots of messages and folders don't want to have to repeatedly use arrow keys all the time to walk a long menu. That's what the shortcuts are supposed to do: for example, pressing 'k' to automatically move the the folder beginning with a 'k'.  My point is that not only does it move to the associated folder, it also immediately moves the message there and closes the move operation--even if you pressed 'k' once to get to the first of several folders beginning with 'k' at that level in the hierarcy.

What I'd prefer is for the keys (shortcuts) to work like arrow keys in that they would only *navigate* the menu but never finalize and initiate the move itself. That would require an additional <return>--just like when you use arrow keys to manually walk the menu tree.
