I never use thunderbird because
You can't hide reade messages like in ms outlook or evolution
Or have I missed something

I don't wanna write a tutorial on Thunderbird here but Part of your answers
will depend on which version you're using.  There are some focus issues
depending on which version you use.

But for basic operation, it works pretty much like other windows based
applications.  Once you have created and set up your accounts, then you will
have a tree table of the accounts and rss feeds and whatever you have added.
When the cursor is on the account you want to work, then press right arrow
to open the collapsed node.  under here you should see the different folders
like inbox, sent messages and other folders you may have created.  I have
several folders in here because I use IMAP for all my mail services.  Once
you have selected the foler you want to open, tab once and you should land
on the list of messages.  From here, you can hit enter on the message you
want to read.  I usually make sure thunderbird is configured to open
messages in a new window.  With this setting, you can then press ctrl-w to
close the window and you should automatically go back to your message list.
Just arrow up and down the list to pick messages.  Orca will speak when
messages are marked unread.

That should be a good starter.  Just look around the menus and you will
learn other shortcuts and more efficient ways to get around in this program.
I would say that Thunderbird is a pretty decent program now and Orca
performs well enough to use it effectively.
