Hi,
Yet another change to the Apple UI in Mountain Lion which is annoying the hell
out of me is the change to the behaviour of tab or shift tab in Mail.
Previously if I were on a message list I could hit shift-tab and go to the
mailboxes list. Now, it takes me all over the place.

Good morning,
You can jump from the mailboxes list to the list of the messages contained
within each by using cmd accent/whatever the key is just above the tab key.
Just discovered that by accident, but I hope it helps someone.
Have fun everyone, and continue playing! :)

Not for me I'm afraid. Interestingly, vo-j jumps from mailboxes to messages,
but not back.
Incidentally, for those using a British keyboard, the accent key is to the left
of Shift beside Z.

whoever started that rumour needs to check their facts. :)

It's quite probable that version 3 won't work. There were a lot of OS changes

Yes, I agree with you totally on that point. I much prefer to use OS key
