In all previous versions of macOS, when you are middle of mail list, you can quickly jump to the newest one by clicking mail subject column, very handy.

now in Big Sur, mail app no longer has subject column, is there any trick that I can jump to the newest mail?

I would like to know if there is an answer to this as well. For now, I am using Cmd-Home to jump to the top, but having a cursor click would be very handy.

I came here to ask this too, massive pain not having the click to jump!

Like tgara I've started using Cmd-Home but it's not a great alternative — you have to make sure you're clicked on an email in the left column first (as opposed to, say, in a conversation of emails in the preview pane — when the keyboard shortcut takes you to the top of that conversation thread instead). So it's a mouse click and a keyboard shortcut to replace a simple mouse click — not ideal. :(

I found a trick, clicked the filter icon twice -- clicked it to enable filter, by default it shows unread messages, clicked it again to disable filter, now you are on top.

I agree; it is completely annoying that this functionality is missing. I reported it as a bug when Big Sur was in Beta. I used to use this several times a day. The entire tool bar redesign was a mistake. I feels like it was ported from the iPad, where you can tap the top of the list to jump to the top.
