Coming in on this late so don’t know if this will help or not.
In mail when I want to go to another folder, I hold VO and left arrow, pass the
vertical splitter and next you should land on your mailbox folder. There you
can hit the first letter of the name of the folder and then VO right arrow past
the vertical splitter and next will be your messages folder for the mailbox you
chose..
There is no interacting with any of them when you do this. You just arrow down
to each message and delete as you go what you no longer want in that message
folder.
Reverse the steps to go back tothe mailbox folder for the next one you want to
look in.
Hope this is helpful.

Hello,
Let me explain what I mean by clunky. I do have my messages set up with rules
to go to different folders. If I am in a list of messages here is what I have
to do to get to the list of folders so I can choose a different folder.
1. I have to hit VO plush Shift plus Up arrow twice
2. Next I have to hit VO plus left arrow a couple of times to get to the list
of folders.
3. Next I have to press VO plus Shift plus Down arrow to interact with this
table of folders.
4. Now I have to arrow around to find the folder I want and press VO plus
space to select it.
5. Now I have to hit VO plus Shift plus Up arrow to stop interacting with the
folder list.
6. Now I have to press VO plus right arrow twice to get to the Message area.
7. Now I need to hit VO plus Shift Plus Down arro to move into the message
area.
8. I then need to hit VO plus Right arrow to get to the message list.
9. Finally I need to hit VO plus Shift Plus Down arrow to get into the
message list.
This is what I meant by clunky. There are a lot of steps just to check the
different folders I have.

To select messages use shift up and down arrow. Fora noncontiguous selection
use vo up and down then vo enter on any messages you want to select. The
mail app is not by any means clunky. For me I grasped it within in minutes
of getting my mac 6 years ago. I had no choice in the matter by the way.

Hello all,
Does anyone have any tips for using the mail app? I am finding it a bit
clunky compared to the mail apps I am used to on my Windows machine. For
example is there a way to quickly select a bunch of messages similar to
using control end or home on Windows?? I do have the 13.3 air. I know the
commands are a bit different since it does not have a full keyboard.
Thanks,
Greg Wocher************
