I have been using the 'Smart space' these past few days, which I had never used before, and I must say that it seems to work quite well. I don't have to change the focus to the message pane as I thought I would have to do, 'Smart space' does it if needed. The only small (very small) drawback is that, if don't want to actually read a long message I still have to scroll through it. But, as I say, that is a very minor inconvenience.

I have seen it work on last message many (most) times. Read filters are triggered and, as per my configuration, I am asked if I want to move to the next folder with unread messages. But I have seen it not do anything on last message a few times, but I don't have a patter yet. -- Best regards, Miguel A.
