Please add this ASAP! Here are my answers to the last commenter's questions.
1. Would you want this to only happen in the Inbox folder?
All folders
2. When your Inbox has a list of messages with mixed read/unread status, would you expect to be automatically taken to the next message irrespective or read or unread status, or only to the next unread message? Could you share the reason behind your choice?
I would definitely want to go to the next message irrespective of read status. To me it's much more intuitive to have it always go in order rather than skipping around based on read status, and although there are times that I might actually want the opposite behavior, the vast majority of the time, I want to go in order. You also would introduce ambiguity if you consider the read status. What if you start on a read message, would you then go to the next read message or unread in that case? Going to the next unread will cause frustration and confusion.
3. Which platform would you like to see this implemented on? Web, mobile? Both?
It's very important to have the option for this on both web and mobile. I don't think people should be forced into this behavior, but it's very important for some people. On web, adding it to the column inbox layout is a no brainer and shouldn't even need an option. For the row layout, some people might like it each way. I really want to be able to archive/delete a bunch of messages in a row after glancing at them. That's significantly faster for me than deleting, looking for the next message I want to open, click on it, glance, and then delete.
4. If you'd like to see this on mobile as well, why not use the swipe action to quickly delete or archive emails? Is there something about that action that you find difficult?
Swipe is important and very useful in the conversation list, but like I mentioned above, tapping once in the same place repeatedly lets you go through mail much faster. I don't want to go back to the conversation list after looking at each message. It's faster to glace at a message, tap archive/delete, and then see the next message.
Final Comments:
I would give this all 10 of my votes if I could. This is really the most important feature for me because it gives me the largest increase in processing mail quickly.
