Opening next message after viewing or deleting

Please can anyone tell me whether it is possible to adjust mail settings so that the next email is displayed when one is viewed or deleted. At the moment, when one email is opened or deleted it is necessary to open the next from the list. There appears to be no facility to view next or previous emails when viewing an email.

I've found numerous threads on this topic and no solid answer if Mail can do this or not. I don't think it's just a Mail thing, but Entourage behaves exactly the same and it's pretty darn annoying after awhile. It's just counter-intuitive to every other email client I've ever used. Any help or a simple confirmation that "it just workes that way" would ge appreciated.

Open next message after deleting?

After reading a message and then deleting it is there any way that I can have Mail auotmatically open the next message? Most other mail software (Entourage, Eudora) allow this?

This is a significant feature that's missing from Mail. Apple needs to get on it.

Automatically Opening Next Email After One is Deleted

On the iPhone 5, when I delete an email, the next email automatically opens. Is there a way to change the settings so that after deleting or reading one email, it will bring me back to the main email screen / list rather than open the next email automatically? Thank you!

No, but you can delete emails from the Inbox by clicking Edit > selecting the email and then tapping Delete, you can also delete an email by swiping your finger across the email in the Inbox and then tapping Delete.
If you want, you can leave Apple feedback here -> Apple - iPhone - Feedback

Opening Next Message

I just started using Mail as my mail reader and I can't figure something out. I'm sure I'm over looking something but it's driving me crazy. After I finish reading a message, I want to read the next message but there is no arrow to take me to the next message. Even if I delete the one I'm reading (which is not what I always want), it takes me to my list of messages.
I'd like to be able to go through all my messages without going back to the list of messages. I know I could do that in Entourage (and can do it at work in Outlook). I've looked at customizing the toolbar but that doesn't help.
Thanks.

I think HH4 means that when Mail has a specific email message open in its own window, there is no way to go to the next message. (i.e. each email has to be double clicked to be opened in a window, in Entourage and Outlook there is a feature that lets you roll through emails in a full window view other than the window/frame that the list view of emails is in.)
I think the other posters here are talking about the message view frame at the bottom of the window below the list of emails. If you have an email selected in the upper frame and are viewing it in the lower frame, you can use the arrow keys to roll to the previous or next email.
Hope I clarified things, and I agree that I preferred the Entourage feature, but it is one of the things I gave up when moving to Apple's Mail, which is better integrated into the system.

Is there any way to make Mail open next message?

Is there any way to make Mail open the next message on the inbox automatically after deleting, forwarding o saving a message?
I mean, is there any way to, after reading a message, going to the next or previous message without double clicking the main inbox window?
I used (on windows) to read mail on outlook, or even on entourage for mac, and after I read a message, even if I deleted it, forward it, replied it, or even saving it on a folder, automatically the program (outlook, entourage, hotmail, etc) opened the next message on the inbox, but I am not able to find any way to make Mail do that.
Is there a way to it? Or should I provide suggestions to Apple?
By the way, no meant to prefer microsoft for this, I just think this is a cool feature for reading several messages one after another without going back to the main inbox page and double clicking the message to read...
Thanks for any help

Down-arrow, Return. Return opens the selected message. I read through hundreds of messages without ever touching the mouse. Once you get used to the keystrokes, Mail is extremely efficient.

Outlook 2013-Open Next Message when current message is closed

I have a user who said that in previous versions of Outlook she was able to double click on an email (to open it in its own window) then close it (not move or delete) and the next email in line would open up in its own window. I cannot find where this would
be setup at. I maybe assuming that a special rule was setup, but can that be done?
I have the "After moving or deleting an open item" set to "Open the next item." I even tried having a search folder filter out only new messages, which would I thought trick Outlook into thinking the message moved so it open the enxt
item, but no dice.
Any ideas how I can make this happen?

Hi,
The setting of “After moving or deleting an open item: open the next item” is only working when users move or delete the open item. It doesn’t work if you just open and close the item in Outlook. Here is an article descripted the details about it:
http://www.msoutlook.info/question/217
If you want to open next item in current open item, we can add a Quick Access Toolbar of Next Item in Outlook as a workaround.

Open Next Message in Mac Mail

When faced with a long list of mail messages to read I would like to read the message and then move to the next without having close the message and double click on the next. I have hundreds of messages to review and am looking to streamline my activity.
This facility was available in MS Outlook Express and I am sure there must be something I am not doing right.
MichaelQ

Carolyn,
that is not Michael was asking for: I switched over to a MacBook some eight months ago and have been very satisfied with it after having used PC:s for about 30 years. These are awesome, and then some. However, having also used Outlook for a number of years, I've been conditioned to the functionality Michael described above: it is most convenient to maximize a single message window in Outlook and having read it, just click on the next message arrow, without having to 1. close window, 2. select next, 3. open it... you get the picture. Seems to be missing form Apple Mail, I'm afraid...

When deleting a message in mail, how do you get it to advance to the next message? whenever i delete a message it goes back to the previous message.

when trying to delete a message in mail, i would prefer to advance to the next message. i delete a message and the curser goes back to an earlier message. i usually delete the most recent messages first.

First of all, you've posted in the Snow Leopard forum, but your profile says you're running Leopard, not Snow Leopard. What version of Mac OS X are you really running? You should always be sure that your profile matches the forum you're posting in, otherwise the "solution" to your problem may be totally ineffective.
Part of your problem is that deleting Mail messages depends on how you have them ordered. If they are listed in Descending Date order (most recent at the top), and you want to delete a series of consecutive emails from an earlier time, you should select the last one in that group and press the Delete key; with each one that's deleted, the selection will move to the next one up the list. You could also select the first one in the group, then Shift-click on the last one in the group and press Delete to get rid of them in one step.
If you have them listed in Date Ascending order (most recent at the bottom), you would have to select the oldest message(s) you want to delete and select it (or them) and press the Delete key, and the selection would move down the list to the next most recent message in the window.

Next Message after Junk

In Mavericks (though this may have been before), using the classic layout, when I click on email10 and then click on (Junk) in the toolbar, the next message highligted and displayed depends on the position of the _previous_ email that had been selected. So, assuming I have 20 emails email1, email2, ... email20, sorted by Date Received ascending (newest at the bottom).
If email20 is selected, then I select email10 and (Junk), the next selection is email11. If email4 is selected, then I select email10 and (Junk), the next selection is email9. This can be distressing when junking a series of spam emails ... especially when it seems that the junked messages are disappearing (this may be due to a very large junk mailbox).
Is there a way to configure mail so that the direction does not depend on the previous selected email?
thanks,
Mike.

Has anyone had a problem losing e-mail messages after viewing on the iphone

Recently, I have lost a small handful of Yahoo messages. Seriously, they just vanished into thin air. The message would be there in my list of messages, but when I would open it on the iPhone, it would be a completely different message.
Initially I thought I had accidentally deleted them, but after searching once on an actual computer, I discovered that they were truly gone. I finally contacted Yahoo about the problem, and they said that it is a known issue - the issue being a user has a message, views the inbox on ios5, tries to view the message, but then the message disappears completely..."completely" being verified by use when logged in on a non-ios5 device such as computer.
So now I'm just careful. Fine.
Now my boss is telling me that he has had some of his messages disappear from our company domain through MSExchange. WTH?? We're having our Exchange host look into the issue, but I thought I'd do some investigating of my own in the meantime.
Has anyone else experienced this?
For the record, both of the phones in question are 4s iPhones running ios5 (naturally) on Verizon. Mine is a 64GB, acquired in November 2010, and my boss' phone is a 32GB, acquired in December 2010.
Any insight is greatly appreciated..

How do I always open email messages as "view message in new tab window"?

Hi, right now my email displays all my messages in a small top window, and the viewed message in a small bottom window. Then when this happens if I click the "view message in a new tab window" button on the displayed email, it will get rid of all my messages and just display the main message in a larger window. I like that. Problem is I have to click that button for each email that I open, and that can be a hassle when I have to open and read hundreds of email messages.
Is there any way I can set the default settings of the email to always open email, by default, as "view message in a new tab window"?

Ok, I looked through the help files and found that if I double click on a message in the main email window (and also click the upper left and upper right arrows to close those windows in the email folder), I almost get to read that entire message in a full window. That's a lot better to know that.

Restore Gmail messages after a hacker deleted all my mail

My Gmail account was hacked, and, after sending out spam to all my contacts, the hacker deleted all my mail off my Gmail account. I use Apple Mail and keep offline copies of my emails. However, I can't seem to find a way to import these copies back into my Gmail account, and Apple Mail doesn't find them when I search on Apple Mail. I've tried moving messages back into the inbox folder in my Library, but no avail. Any suggestions?

Can anybody help me?
