Does not seem to work for Thunderbird... ^^
Use a decent mailclient, like ELM :-)

For me it's less the location of the startmenu (I'm mostly using the
keyboard for startmenu navigation btw.), but the fact that the Windows
Key opens that fullscreen abomination of that "metro desktop" instead of
a little window in some corner.
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.
