I still find for the fastest and most efficient way to read my e-mail is to use mutt on my Linux box. That's hardly the right answer for a Mac users list though. When I am in Apple's Mail, the only complaint I have right now other than general GUI clunkiness, is the problem with VO not reading the read/unread status.
I'm quite sure I know why these statuses aren't being read by VO however. Every time you cursor down the list of messages, The adjacent window containing the selected message is opened, thus the status changes to 'read' and AFAIK, there is no symbol present for VO to speak once it is read. I forgot how to keep the message from being opened even in classic view so I went back to the newer presentation and if I really want to see the statuses, I just turn VO tracking off and then look down the list of messages with VO-arrow keys and this way, the messages don't get selected nor opened. All I need now would be a single hot key to bring the application cursor down to where the VO cursor is. We have a command to go the other way but not this way. I could be mistaken with some of these observations because I'm stil one of those "new guys."
