Hi, As new sup, but experienced vim user, I relatively quickly understood 
the 'modes' concept (although a short Wiki article would be helpful for 
novices).
However, it is confusing to me that the same key could have different 
meanings in different modes. As well, some keybindings seem redundant and 
increase complexity. E.g. '.s', ',s', ']s' are related to spam, but 's' 
could also mean 'save message'. 'S' is used for marking spam in one mode, 
and for searching contacts in a different mode.  
My suggestion would be to unify the keybindings in the different modes - 
i.e. to define more global keybindings - and to use unique ones where 
needed. Some keybindings are more confusing than helpful in my opinion. 
Thus, one option could be the definition of 'keybindings sets' (e.g. 
'minimal', 'full') and/or an curses-menu for activating/ disabling 
keybindings (ideally, with custom entries). 

Best regards, 

Robert
