The exact details depend on the application, but Tab can be very handy. For example, it can step you through a dialogue, such as the save dialogue when working in Pages. On a web page, it will take you through the various form controls. And -- until now -- in Mail it will jump between the mailboxes list and the messages table. How it works will depend on the options chosen in the Keyboards Shortcut preferences, but it's well worth exploring.
