Hi, It's quite simple really, when you turn it on, you use left and right arrows instead of having to hold to VO keys down, so to get to the mailbox list I can just switch Quick Nav on and left arrow till I get there. Granted, if I want to expand a conversation or move up and down lists, there's a bit of messing about, and there's a lot more interacting to do as well due to the way the new layout works. I haven't set up an activity for Mail yet as I'm not sure what my strategy will be, but I'm trying to get used to the new layout for now.
You should look at the Learn About Quick Nav item in the Quick Nav tab in the Commanders pain in VO Utility.
