It would be great to be able to select between the previous or the next message to be shown after deletion. I read my emails from oldest to newest so this feature is useless for me. Thanks for the hard work. Love the apps and all the feature releases.

Upon clicking delete/archive/spam, instead of returning to the inbox, it opens up to the next email. There should also be the option to auto-advance to the previous email instead.

This feature is in Gmail and it's absence is infuriating especially when clearing out a full inbox. This issue was raised in a Reddit thread from 2 years ago but still hasn't been implemented.

Quickly scanning the ideas in the community I couldn't find this one: Reading messages in inbox would be enhanced if after deleting a message the dashboard would immediately go to the next message in the row. At the moment (at least when I use it) you delete a message, then the screen displays a message of how many emails you have in your inbox, and I have to to click actively onto the next message to read it. You can save clicks and time if after deleting a message the next email would pop up in the reading pane automatically without input of the user. Just thinking...

Any update on the desktop app having this feature? I'm fine, it's my wife that's been nagging after I "forced" her to delete Spark Mail... You guys need to up the game with features that other mainstream desktop/mobile apps have for email. No.1 is privacy, but let's add features please...
So, what's the update after 14 months from the response from Proton admin? Even an guestimation will do.

I just wrote a Blogpost about how i fixed it for me, including a github link to a userscript as well as a non-persistent console injection-snippet.

Since we're waiting for almost ten years now, i figured we have to do the features ourselves now.

As I use ProtonMail more and more, the absence of this feature is so frustrating. Gmail and FastMail both provide this and I fully expected it to be available here too.

I just switched from outlook, and gmail before that ... I regularly have to toggle between upward of 250 messages a week to perform a routine admin function and it wastes so much time not being able to auto advance. Please make this function available.

Just switched to Proton email from CPanel and disappointed to find this feature not available. Please implement on the Wenb interface as soon as you can!

this one is a BIG deal for me moving from macOS mail.. in any mail box I need to quickly navigate through and delete messages. having to manually click or hit return after every time I hit delete slows me way down

Thank you, this will be super helpful to have.

Please merge with these other three ideas. Everyone wants this.

Why would you prioritize iOS rather than the web app?! It's on desktop where I want to use my keyboard to go through email quickly by reading and deleting.

On mobile, I like how on Android GMail app we can swipe left and right to go through and read quickly and then come back and check all and delete

463 votes after years, and still no word of this appearing on desktop. Please!

You are kidding me right? This is a deal breaker. I just migrated from Gmail but this UI quirk will make me migrate away again.

Are you still working on this feature? It would really help make me more productive. It would be nice if it was available everywhere, but could you please get it released to beta on at least one platform?

Kind of surprised that not more than 4 votes have been received in nearly a year.

This is definitely something sorely missed!!! Get it done Proton!

This needs to be added immediately! I'm trying to migrate away from Google and I really dislike going to the inbox instead of the next email!

You guys are taking the ****, right? You still can't implement this feature after all this time?

I have heard nothing further from Proton on the issue.
