No kidding. I wish focus went automatically to the email list under certain conditions: going to next/previous unread message, opening a message, etc. I can't tell you how many times I've hit "Home" only to jump to the (never-used) "On This Computer" thingy in the folder list, rather than to the top of the message list like I wanted. Shift-Tab to get back to the folder tab would be intuitive as well. Actually, I think a simple combo like this would be very useful: Ctrl-Alt-1: Folder List Ctrl-Alt-2: Email List Ctrl-Alt-3: Preview Pane Speaking of keyboard shortcuts... is there one to get to the search bar? Hmmm... I guess _Clear works... if you want to clear what's there. I kind of gave up on using the keyboard for navigation and control when I left Windows. That's one of the things Windows does well: Keeping one's hand off the mouse. But Gnome's getting better, slowly... now, if only you could answer a yes/no dialog with "Y" or "N".
