Use a decent mailclient, like ELM :-)

I had that in the beginning too, and my usage pattern was the same too. 
Don't get me wrong, I still think it is all annoying, but there are
workarounds to make it more bearable.

I work with disappearing menu-bar, and I used windows key to pop it up.  In
most cases you can use win-T now, but that is less comfortable when standing
next to a machine with the kbd in your hands.

Most manual navigation in the start menu I did to get to the control panel,
but I now get there via the new key combo win-I [enter].  I miss however
configuring the startmenu to auto-expand network connections and have an
easy kbd way to browse to them.
