Keyboard shortcut for moving mail to another folder
-
As above:
I'm mail hoarder - every registration, payment, policy change, refund mails from 20 years are here.
My workflow is inbox>read>action done eventually>folder for storage.
Using shortcut would be so helpful, especially when doing it though menu is longer than in other clients - why I have to choose from where i want to move it? Not only from which folder, but also from which account? I want to move it from where it is, always.So my dream is to have shortcut to show all available folders in related mail account. When I select one of folders it's just move there and screen moves to another mail.

@Qbi-Wan I agree that there seems to be no reason to select the from folder. Where else could one move a mail from if not where it is at the moment?
Dream on. You can already use access keys to do this. If you don't have a menu key on your keyboard, Shift+F10 should work to bring up the context menu, then o, m, to list the target folders.

@Pesala For me it looks like main Vivaldi and mail Vivaldi are made by different people from different team with opposite attitude:
Main is made by people who love intuitive free thinking and the ones who like to make thing as twisted and unintuitive as possible, who make mail... -

Actually, an email can be in more than one location.
For example, it can be in your inbox and a custom folder; it can even be in different accounts (because you received it in both accounts or because you copied it from one account to the other). Here's an example:
Now, in this scenario it is possible that you only want to remove the email from one of those locations. In which case it makes sense that the user interface is pointing that out, to make sure you move the one you actually want.
Now, in the vast majority of cases, where there is only one copy of the email, I agree the extra menu level doesn't seem to make much sense and could probably be ommited
A more consistent alternative would probably be to move the extra level back to the main context menu. So, instead of "Move >" - "from aaa to >", we could simply have "Move from aaa to >", repeated by as many different sources as might possible exist.
