Big Sur mail - jump to top of inbox

Yep. I used that click a lot. Now it's gone. You can use the keyboard shortcut though. alt+cmd+(up arrow).

Selecting what mail to filter used to be one click away (left-click on the three little bars atop). Now this is gone as well. It is in a View-submenu.. Big Sur comes with some surprises.

“Big Sur mail - jump to top of inbox: [...] There has to be an easier way to get there than scrolling all the way up. With previous MacOS I could just click above the area just above the list of messages and immediately jump to the most recent email.[...]”

Two Things to Do:

A. Reset Caches in Safe Mode:

What if you restart your Mac? Try restarting your Mac in Safe Mode. In Safe Mode, corrupt system files (i.e. caches) may be reset.

1. Hold Down: the shift key upon boo
2. Log In: as same used
3. Wait: 30 seconds
4. Shut Down: your Mac
5. Wait: 30 seconds
6. Power On: the Mac
7. Log In: as normal

Is all fixed?

If Not...

B. Provide your Feedback:

Do your Part: Inform Apple of your feedback of this issue. Include how you’ve troubleshot this, and your results. Apple wont get back to you directly, but the more feedback they receive from its users, the more likely they will know what needs to be fixed, and what their customers prefer in updates, and future macOS versions to come. It may not be a bug, if it is not part of the macOS. So, use “Feature Request”, rather than “Bug Report”, for the “Feedback Type”.

1. Go Here: Feedback - macOS - Apple
2. Select: "Feature Request" for the "Feedback Type"
3. Select: "Installation/Setup" for the "Feedback Area"
4. Proceed from there as necessary

fn+left arrow works

"Thanks very much. Resetting caches in safe mode did not help so I will follow the link to give feedback."

You are welcome.

👍 Leaving feedback will do its part, indeed.

See the article https://support.apple.com/en-za/guide/mail/cpmlprefview/mac

check mark the box of most recent message at the top .

If there is a method in Big Sur, I can't find it.

⌃⌘T is the keyboard shortcut for the menu item Edit/Find/Jump to Top, but still not as convenient as the previous method.

This works! Thanks!
