Yes, and that’s why I compromised it so that I simply have to push 
shift+n when I want to move further.
You could make it so 'b' moved to next so you only need to move your 
finger one slot to the left :)

Here are my on top of my head features:

scalability: with mail mate I'm now at 1.000.000+ messages something I 
never got near with thunderbird - I stopped using thunderbird the 3rd 
time I had it corrupts its own database and then spent days downloading 
all messages again.

bundles: I use a bunch of the bundles built in but also written a few 
internal processes, like take expense emails through a filter which then 
generates content in my clipboard I can then put into a spreadsheet ;)

markdown for email: nuff'said ?

integration with spotlight on osx: not sure if thunderbird does this by 
now but i use it often now with mailmate (its in many cases faster than 
mail mate to do focused search)

smart mailboxes: I do not know of any other mail app which can handled 
smart mailboxes as well as mail mate.

MM doesn't support editing SIEVE rules. It does have integration support 
with spamsieve.

That said I uses neither as I don't want my desktop client to do the 
bulk filtering as
it is not always running thus my mails gets cluttered when just on 
phone.

I use imapfilter and have a fairly complex implementation which I some 
day will try and
make possible to share..some day ;)

That said mailmates filtering rules are very good and if I just used my 
desktop for mails or it was always on I would be fine with mail mates 
filters.
