Hi, You've figure right. As you navigate with VO down your messages list, Mail thinks that you've manipulated that message, so it becomes unread even if you actually didn't read it. Many VO users turn off the Preview pane and use other methods to read their messages. One method is by pressing return on the message, which will open it and VO will begin reading the contents of the message. Just press cmd-w to close then arrow to the next message or press delete to delete the message with focus and to move on.
If you do wish to try things without the Preview Pane, here's some instructions I posted back when Mavericks first was released: 1. Go into Mail Prefs and select the Viewing pane. 2. Check to change to Classic View. 3. Close Mail Prefs. 4. Navigate to the Horizontal Splitter after the Messages Table. 5. Press VO-cmd-f5 to make sure the mouse is focused on the Splitter. 6. Press down on the Trackpad then drag downwards to the bottom of the physical Trackpad then release. You will know that it worked because the splitter will no longer be right after the Messages Table, it will be the last item at the bottom of the window. 7. Change back into Modern View in the Mail Prefs by unchecking the box. 8. Close the Mail Prefs. You will know that the Preview Pane is closed/hidden/disabled by navigating around the Mail window and you will note a Vertical Splitter before and after the Messages Column Group. If it's not sticking for you, try quitting Mail after getting rid of the Preview Pane in Classic view. Once you re-open Mail, you can change back to the Modern View and the change should stick. At least it has for me numerous times. HTH. Later...
