How to change which "next message" is opened after a delete
I have to use Outlook for work mail and I am trying to configure Thunderbird to behave similarly
I have my messages sorted in DESCENDING date/time (so the newest is always at the top)
If I start reading messages from the bottom (oldest) I'd like Thunderbird to move UP to the next message on a Delete
It doesn't, it always tries to move DOWN the list of messages - thus moving to less new ones
Can I change this anywhere? I've looked, bt nothing is obvious
Thanks

Try this:
- 'Tools' > 'Options' > Advanced' > 'General' Tab
- click on 'config editor' button
- it will tell you to be careful :)
- in top search type 'mail.delete'
- look for this line: mail.delete_matches_sort_order; set value as 'true'
- double click to toggle 'false' to 'true'
- close window - top right X
- click on OK to save changes in Options
