I'm on Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard).
In Mail, I have the first message in my Inbox selected and I'm trying to navigate to the last message using my keyboard.
In Thunderbird, I just hit the End key, which for me is "Function-right arrow" because I'm on a MacBook Pro.
In Mail, with the first message selected, if I hit "Function-right arrow" (i.e. End), the scroll bar moves down, allowing me to see the messages at the bottom of the list, but the first message at the top of the list is still selected. What I want is for the last message to be selected.
I've tried lots of key combinations and searched for the answer but haven't been able to find it. Please help. I posted this originally at discussions.apple.com but the only advice I received was to file a bug with Apple, which I did.
