OK, this is what I did. I stopped interacting with the messages area, I navigated to my Mailbox list, I interacted with a mailbox account lower down in the list, did a VO-command-shift-spacebar to mouse down on it, used the VO up arrow keys to go up a few places, and then did the VO-command-shift-spacebar to Mouse up. The mailbox was moved successfully. Take Care John D.
