Won't it be a spectacular day when the good folks at Apple decide to proactively document these sorts of changes? Remember the move from SL to Lion where they disabled the simple method of moving to top and bottom of message list and disabled the ability to simply use tab to move between the mailbox list, message list and preview pane?
Anyway, here are the two methods I've found to navigate Mail.app in Mountain Lion. Hope somebody finds something a bit simpler for those of us who use preview pane. 1. If the preview pane is active, use VO+J to hop back and forth between the message list and the preview pane, and use tab and shift+tab pressed four times to move back and forth between the message list and mailbox list in classic view. In "Lion" view, you'll need to press tab or shift+tab 5 times. 2. If the preview pane is hidden, VO+J will hop between the mailbox list and the message list. You can press return and Command+W to open and close the highlighted message. I think this behavior is unchanged from Lion.
