The interaction thing is probably the most confusing but yet powerful part of VoiceOver. What I do with my setup in Mail is to interact with the list of mail boxes which can actually be navigated as a tree view with expanded and collapsed nodes. Anyway, once I choose the mail box I want to work with, I just hit tab without uninteracting; this puts me on the table of messages for that mail box. I then interact with the table of messages. Now I can move up and down the list with or without VO keys pressed. the advantage to not using VO keys while pressing the arrow keys is I can then use the left and right arrow keys to collaps and expand nodes respectively. I should have noted while talking about the mail box list that if I use the VO enhanced arrow keys so I then hear the index levels of the boxes because the ones at "level 0" cannot be accessed directly. An example of this would be Inbox; in my case, I have two accounts so I have Inbox and under that I have my two gmail controled accounts.
