For me, the primary use of Thunderbird is to send and receive emails, but I find it challenging to navigate efficiently using the keyboard. No matter how I configure the layout, I encounter redundant focus points.
In version 102, I could remove some unnecessary layouts from the interface and navigate between the tree and inbox by pressing Tab/Shift+Tab. However, in the current version, no matter how I configure the layout, I still encounter sorting controls in the table when navigating from the tree view to the inbox.

To avoid this kind of confusion, I’ve been sticking with version 102. Today, I tried upgrading to 128.4.1esr, but the experience left me thoroughly disappointed. This has caused me to seriously question Mozilla’s approach to accessibility. I’ve always been impressed by the high level of accessibility in Firefox, but the changes in Thunderbird are truly baffling.
