Mail - move to next unread after deleting an e-mail

[joe3k]

Hi Guys,

Normally deal with Outlook but a user had Windows Mail and wanted to get it to "move to the next unread" message after deleting the one they had just read.
It currently just moves to the "last read e-mail", which is not what is desired.

Anyone know how to do this?

Thanks,
Joe

"Windows Mail" was the email program built-in to Windows Vista, just like "Outlook Express" was the built-in email program for Windows XP.

If the user is truly using "Windows Mail", then the user is running Windows Vista. My response would be that Vista (and Windows Mail) is obsolete and is what it is.

Dude, I'm sure he is talking about the mail program in Windows 10

Sorry, should have clarified. Yes it's the Windows 10 mail program .

Set them up with Thunderbird or something...
Win 10 mail is horrible.

10 mail is a joke. Thunderbird or something else is better than that pos.

Use eMclient Free if no more than 2 accounts.

Dude, you can't always assume this. Just two weeks ago I migrated a user off of Vista that was using Windows Mail -- which is why I assumed Vista when the OP said Windows Mail. (But I definitely agree that Windows 10 mail is an embarrassment.)

It is statistically more likely he was talking Windows 10 than Vista. I will not even touch a Vista machine except to migrate data from it. A usability issue is irrelevant as my answer would be to stop using it.

eMclient Free and Thunderbird sound like good suggestions to be tried instead, rather than faffing with the Windows 10 Mail program.
Thanks guys.

Is this by any chance what you're searching for? I use Win10 mail on one of my accounts and found under settings/Reading Pane is Auto-open switch.
