This is possible, but you may need to assign a key to it. Under the "View" menu,
find the options for "Prev Message" and "Next Message". Hover the mouse pointer
over the option, and enter a keystroke to bind to the command. This should work
n all GTK+ apps.

Try pressing the Delete key. That works for me.

Yes, this 'feature' is quite annoying indeed. I hope they fix it soon.

I'm using Sylpheed Claws, which is a development version of Sylpheed. I strongly
suggest that you give it a try. It contains many features that are not present
in the official release, and is usually quite stable.
