Yes. As Timothy said, shift-tab when you're in the message list. Mail has had the tab key correctly wired in the main window at least since Leopard shipped. With full keyboard access off and an otherwise default setup, the cycle is message list -> message content -> search field -> mailbox list -> message list, hardly that difficult. In fact, the only thing nonstandard with focus in Mail's main window is that when you use the mouse and click on a mailbox, the keyboard focus gets redirected to the message list. Hence the confusion. But that's just one very simple - albeit subtle - and consistent rule. -> jp
