Just click the "Default" button in the new Mail config (avaliable only

This is being worked on.

You can use GtkHTML and set the keybindings to vi/emacs style. It may
not be real vi/emacs, but I find it very usable.

I have an idea to make it easier for people to discover these
keybindings. But currently, if focus is set on the message list, n goes
to the next message and there are other ones that I forgot...

Also being worked on.

Good idea, you'll see this in the new edition of the feature request
summary when I get it done.

Configurable message list is also something being worked on.

Jeff is working very hard on this right now.

If you're running 0.8 (or even better, the snapshot builds), it's part
of the configuration druid.

Again, thanks for your great feedback!
