Hello Steve, It seems to me that you would prefer Classic View for reading mail.
To choose this, open Mail Preferences (Command-Comma), interact with the Toolbar and press VO-Space on the Viewing button. Then check the Classic Layout box. Close the preferences with Command-w and find the Horizontal Splitter that separates the headers from the message body. Bring the mouse to the VoiceOver cursor (VO-Cmd-F5) then do a physical double click with the mouse or trackpad. This will move the Horizontal Splitter to the bottom of the window and you'll have to press Return to open a message. You'll now have a list of messages at the right-hand side of the window, and a list of mailboxes at the left. Simply landing on a message will no longer open it, so you can choose which messages you wish to open. Messages will open in a separate window, and you close them with Cmd-w.
