Change Folder When Proceeding to Next Unread Message in Postbox

While trying Postbox under Mac, I soon realized it’s a thunderbird derivative. However, using Thunderbird I was able to use the ‘N’ short cut to switch to next unread message no matter in which folder it resides. After senseless searches in the virtual Postbox documentation, I searched for it at Mozilla and found the result instantly. However, you need to edit the configuration by hand, which seems a bit nerdy for a comfortable Mac Application.

Therefore, open Postbox’ preferences and switch to Advanced->General, press Config Editor… at the bottom and insert nav in the search field after pledging to be carefull. Then only one line should be left in the list below, labeled mailnews.nav_crosses_folders. Change it’s value to 1 and that’s it.
