instead of having an additional click to read the next email, automatically go to it.

Gmail has this really neat feature called auto-advance, which automatically puts you in the next mail in your inbox when you archive/delete an email.

In Gmail this setting looks like this:

After archiving, deleting, muting, etc. a conversation:
[] Go to the next (newer) conversation
[X] Go to the previous (older) conversation
[] Go back to the thread list

This feature is a real productivity booster, which I would love to see implemented in Protonmail as well. Should not be too hard to implement either.

Commenting so the protonmail people can maybe see this. Please, it has been 4 years guys! :)

I would like the next email to open automatically when I delete the one I'm reading.

In gmail it's called auto-advance:

Auto-advance:

After archiving, deleting, muting, etc. a conversation:
[ ] Go to the next (newer) conversation
[X] Go to the previous (older) conversation
[ ] Go back to the threadlist

and probably my most-used hot key ("e")

This feature has been suggested by others; I'm re-opening it. I cannot believe that ProtonMail doesn't provide the ability to automatically go to the next or previous message after deleting or filing the current one. I'm disappointed that previous requests have been ignored for 3+ years. I won't be adopting ProtonMail as my primary e-mail address (and upgrading to a paid plan) until this feature is added. It's a deal-breaker not to have it.

YES YES YES! Automatically open the next email after delete. Please add this option.

I vote for this option also!!!!

A much-needed option/feature, to save interaction time,when using the web version

When I am scrolling through emails and delete one, I would iike the option to move to the next one down, rather than back to the list.

Yes protonmail people, please make this an option! It will save so much time for us!

Yes protonmail people, please make this an option! It will save so much time for us!

If it is not already available (I've not been able to find such an option despite looking carefully through the settings and also the help files) I would very much like to have an optional setting automatically to switch to/open the immediately next or prior message in the currently viewed folder.

When I delete an email I would like to automatically move to the next email and have it show up in the preview pane on the webapp. Similar to the way gmail behaves.

I'm going through a neglected inbox… workflow involves opening each conversation and categorizing it as trash, archive, star & archive, or label & archive. After each action, the UI brings me back to the Inbox. I'd like to go instead open the next thread instead.
There seems to be no way to configure such behaviour neither in Protonmail standard nor in the beta.

Yeah you Lederhosen wearing communists you better make it easier than Windows.

Yes, please add this.

Hi,
can you make and option what to do when I delete/archive an email?
Thanks

Seems obvious that the GUI should have this feature with an option to chose next or previous message in the settings. Previous is helpful for people starting reading through the inbox from the "bottom".

Should be active for any move from inbox main folder and also delete, spam ++

Agreed
