I turn QuickNav off and use right and left arrow keys to expand or collapse messages. When reading messages, I press enter on the first message I wish to read and then use VO+J to move to the message content area. As soon as I'm finished with the message, I hit command+delete to get rid of the message. I then land on the next message where I can simply press VO+J again to read the content of the message I am now focused on. This seems to work well for me.

Hi, If the Conversation thread is not expanded, you can do it a few ways. When you press return, the entire thread of messages will open in separate window things. If you press Delete, the top message will be deleted and the next message will gain focus. If you press cmd-w, the entire thread closes so that is not your best command in this situation. Also, you could Stop Interacting with the message area then you can simply VO-right or VO-left through the thread, and you'll be able to listen to each message fully one at a time. HTH. Later...

I should have mentioned that - I turned it off completely since just arrowing through a message in the table marked is as read, which bugged me.

But you can quickly arrow up and down through the conversation thread with vo+J getting you to the table quicker. That's the closest I've come to doing next/previous message in ann efficient manner.

I open messages with enter instead of using the preview pane, so I currently open a message, read it, close it, arrow to the next one, open it, read it, close it... This would mostly be useful in conversations. Any ideas? Thanks.
