Hello Steve, With Mail in classic view and having got rid of the preview pane, the messages appear as a list on the right-hand side of the screen, with the mailboxes as a list on the left.
In Conversation view, you expand a thread by pressing right arrow and all the messages in that thread appear below the first one. Left arrow collapses the thread again. To open a message you press Return and the message is read automatically. To close a message, you press Cmd-w since opened messages appear each in their own window. If a message has been read, VO says nothingm, but it does say "Unread", "Message was forwarded", etc. This way of viewing mail could be what you're looking for.
