You don't, and can in fact merely tab over once you're sitting on the thread you want to view. This will get you to a list of messages within that thread, from where you can either use left and right, or up and down arrows to navigate through them. To return to the threads list, either use VO left arrow, or shift tab. For the record, to return to the list of inboxes, stop interacting with the message list, (for me, this requires two presses of VO shift up arrow), and VO left twice to return to your list of mailboxes.
