Now we're getting to a sensible zone on a related "complaint". The
recent interface changes included the much maligned change to the
Next/Previous message buttons which now have left/right instead of
up/down arrows.
*If* these buttons really meant Next/Previous regardless of direction
then 1) the issue you just raised disappears and 2) the graphic makes
sense in that up/down direction loses relevance while previous/next
logic is simplified.
AKL>>> Ctrl+] - jump to the next unread (inside the current folder

(see below)
AKL>>> Ctrl+[ - jump to the previous _unread_ (inside the current folder
AKL>>> _only_)

KR> Absolutely agree.
Personally, I sort by creation date, ascending and use the ticker to
review all incoming mail. I get a single review folder for the purpose
containing all of the unread mail (and *only* the unread mail) and I can
space-bar / cursor / <Alt>Cursor through *all* of my new mail without
any problem or hindrance.
Cheers,
