Native Mail Client Inexplicably Pops Out of Message List

I have a Mac Mini with Mojave MacOS, but the issue I’m addressing here was happening in previous versions of MacOS. While reading an e-mail I often delete that message while in the message pane. Inexplicably, doing this quiet often kicks me out of the message list so I need to re-issue the ++
