You should be able to change the keystroke to something easier using keyboard commander, though this still wouldn't allow you to go from beginning to end in classic layout without interacting. However, you can see all the headers even when you do interact with the messages table if you use the new layout.

First, on the MBP, you also have to hold down the function key. I am unable to perform that keystroke. Second, assuming that you *can perform that keystroke, in order for that to work, you have to interact with the messages table, otherwise those keystrokes take you out of the message list. I prefer not to interact with the message list, as I like to hear all the headers spoken, not just the one I'm sitting on.

Hi Donna,

I'm a little confused. I am able to use arrow keys in both Classic and the new Mail view. I concur that first letter navigation does not work in the new view. Although, when in the Sent folder,, the very first time, it took me directly to the bottom, but subsequent times put me where I last was. As well, when I was placed at the bottom, I simply pressed VO-shift-left arrow and I was quickly moved to the top of my list of Sent.

Later…

Hi all,

In case anyone is interested, typing the first letter of a recipient's name does work if you switch to classic view. Also, if you switch to classic view, when you go into your sent folder, you're placed at the bottom, rather than the top of the message list. Since we know longer have the Option up and down arrow, I personally find that useful. Yesterday I had to sit there and scroll through nine thousand messages in order to check something in a message I'd just sent. GRRRRR.

Just thought I'd pass this along in case these items are helpful to anyone else.
Best,
Donna
