It turned out to be a dialogue sitting front of the main Mail window that I needed to use the VO+F2n command to get to and dismiss it. In the past, everytime this dialogue popped up it had focus but, for no reason I can explain, it was lost in the mix this time.

Usually, command-tab moves between mail-finder-whatever else is open, command-tilde moves between windows of the same program.If you need a new inbox window, just hit command-option-n.If command-tilde is moving you between programs, instead of between windows of the same program, you've got much more serious issues than just vo misbehaving.On Dec 28, 2008, at 4:52 PM, Chris Hofstader wrote:This didn't work either.

The Command+~ moved meto the Finder and then back to Mail in its still hung up state.Rebooting, restarting, everything I've tried keeps this evil message atop the pile when I open Mail and I still cannot find anything to do with it.Grrrr...

Try command-w to close the window. If that doesn't work, then try command-~ (tilde) to switch to another window, at least then you can continue using mail, regardless of the state of that window.

I opened the message, read its contents and tried to delete it. Deleting didn't work with the keystroke, going to the toolbar and choosing delete or hitting the close button. When I tried to shut down, I got an error that said I had to force quit mail first so I did and it restarted. I restarted Mail after it rebooted and was faced with the same email and the same "no way out" state. I tried a few more times to shut down and do a few other things but, alas, all has done nothing but leave me with Mail broken. Any ideas? I had to use my Windows laptop to do this email.
