I like and use the optional command "Jump to the beginning of the next<br>
unread message" too. For the same reason like you: when a message is<br>
boring.<br>
But my highest priority of all functions of a mail client is indeed<br>
the single read key. Just because I use it thousand of times.<br>
<br>
That's as well the reason that for such a command I regard only a<br>
keyboard shortcut as acceptable which uses one key and not<br>
additionally a meta key or arrow key.<br>
<br>
Further I prefer it not use "one big mailbox for all messages". So I<br>
need the single read key working in the normal mailboxes. <br>
<br>
In other words:<br>
When the command stops at the last unread message in one Mailbox and<br>
forces the user to manually switch to the next mailbox (with a special<br>
keyboard shortcut), it does not work for me.<br>
<br>
I really do not stop using "one single key for reading".<br>

My impression of MM is very good too. I bought the license 2 years<br>
ago. But as long as I can't realize a single read key I cannot switch<br>
from Thunderbird to MM.<br>
<br>
Yes, local folders are a nice concept of TB. But it has not the same<br>
rank for me as such usability features as "single read key".<br>
<br>
But I'm patient :)<br>
May be Benny likes my suggestion.<br>
