Well, I always use my mini in portrait mode. Same when I had my old iPad original version. And no, the mail doesn’t work like it does on the phone. Your landscape mode sounds better, because at least you have the message on the right side of the screen I guess, based on my understanding of your description. I guess I just like it having a list of messages and then I can do what I want in there and if I want to read one, I just double tap. I think it reminds me of more how I do mail on the PC. Go through the list, see something I want, and press insert down arrow in my case to read the message with Thunderbird. Mary
