Yeah, KMail's keyboard navigation is broken. This has already been reported as a usablity bug. The dev's ignore it, but you can reconfigure it yourself to some extent to mak eit behave normally.

It's NOT broken. It's the only way which makes sense. I hate to grab the mouse just to change focus into the mail overview window if I want to got to the next/previous message.

After you get used to it you don't want to miss it anymore.

@Kmail devs: please igonre these usability trolls which claim that Kmail's keyboard navigation is broken. It's one of the main reasons I use Kmail.

      Thirded, nothing even vaguely compares to KMail in terms of usability. It's the power of a shell client, with the power of a GUI.

Heh. I was used to kmail and then tried to use outlook express at work. I could not work out how to scroll through a message and switch between messages. I worked out it was context sensitive, and I can use tab to switch the focus, but the must be a better way.

Kmail is by far much better.
