Lower case letter k

jenroco

What does the lower case letter k do to/with a email message? I inadvertently hit this key for 2 email messages and the have disappeared from my inbox. I verified that it occurs with the letter k by disappearing a third email. Have searched in the other folders and cannot find them. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I don't have K as a shortcut for marking a folder as read, in TB 128 or 143 in W11 (Shift+K is Ignore Subthread).

but if you're using an older version on W7, that might explain why.

I found the selection and the emails have been found. Thank you for the fast reply and help. I would consider that a bug as lower case k is also for Mark folder read if a folder is selected.
