For the search entry it's Altr+C here (English locale, the translators can choose a different letter).
Fair enough for now. Users could use the wonderful Autokey¹ to assign a custom keyboard shortcut as a workaround.
once the focus is in the search input, how to focus the message list again?Tab, Tab, Tab (3-times Tab) works here. The first Tab focuses the "in" part of the Search (aka "Current Folder"), the second Tab focuses the To Do bar (when you've it hidden, it'll be two Tab-s only), the third Tab focuses the message list.
True; a bit cumbersome but bearable.
Something like "Esc" would be nice to "clear the search and focus the message list".
I've been thinking of that, it would make the UI slightly lighter too (showing the Show: ... Search:" part only if any filtering is enabled from it), but it's not the current state. The Esc won't work well when the Search is empty and the Show has set anything but the All Message item, though it's a matter of allowing the Esc to disable both parts, not a matter of code/design/... obstacles. Well, once the bar is changed, which is not the case now. Something close to your request seems to be filled here [1] (the request can be fine-tuned there).
Apart from Esc, yes, making the search bar Ctrl+Shift+F-like would be nice to save some screen space for unused UI elements (i.e., hide the search bar when currently not filtering, in this case). Best, Lukas ¹ https://github.com/autokey/autokey
