[New mail UI] "Home" key in mail/feeds jumps _before_ first mail

Hi,
I'm not sure I like the new mail/feeds UI yet. Actually, I find it quite annoying, but I'm giving it a chance. I only use it for feeds though, Opera doesn't handle my emails.

Anyway, now that the mails/articles are grouped by age ("Today", "Yesterday", "Thursday", ..., "Older"), pressing the "Home" key doesn't bring focus to the first entry anymore - it goes one above, onto the "Today" bar! Same when navigating with the cursor Up/Down keys. (I'm using the split view - not sure whether that's default.) And there's almost no visual indication that the selection is there. The key press may as well have landed in the wrong window. (What is it with this "everything is almost grey" theme???)

While it makes sense to be able to touch the "Today" bar with the mouse (for collapsing the day view), I can't actually collapse it with the keyboard.

For comparison: In Outlook (damn thing), "Home" jumps to the first mail. You can explicitly navigate to the "day" bar, and pressing "Enter" collapses it. (Mouse click implicitly selects all, double click collapses.)

Please fix this! I think it's worth a bug report, right?

Apropos collapsing: If you collapse a period's view, you have absolutely no indicator whether anything is hidden. Bold/unbolding the name of the period ("Today"), and/or attaching a number ("Today (0)", "Yesterday (11/23)") would be really practical!

Thanks,
gibson
