Now that I looked in README distributed with Sylpheed, I see the answer
(and also a typo :-):


Unlike 1.0.x, this version doesn't allow the direct modification of menu
shortcuts by default. You can use the follwing methods to configure them:

1. Using GNOME 2.8 or later
   Run gconf-editor from 'Applications - System Tools - Configuration
Editor'. Select 'desktop - gnome - interface' and check 'can-change-accels'
in it.

2. Using before GNOME 2.8 or other environments
   Add (or create a new one) gtk-can-change-accels = 1 to ~/.gtkrc-2.0.

3. When Sylpheed is not running, directly edit ~/.sylpheed-2.0/menurc using
   editors.


Hope that helps.

I should have really paid closer attention to that file when updating the
FAQ, my bad. So that's on my to-do list now. :-)
