Hear, hear! I just switched from TB2 to TB3 and am considering going back, just for this reason.
I am reading my messages in the Message Pane (the one that you toggle with F8) and not in a separate window. I'm not reading them in order, eiher, I just single-click in the list.
I'm using IMAP with the option "When I delete a message ..." set to "Just mark it as deleted".
When I select a message and the delete it, TB selects the next one and shows it in the message pane. I don't want that, for the same reasons as above (being marked as read when I don't want, security).
That was also how TB2 behaved, but at least I could work around it: with a "good" message selected and being shown in the message pane, right-click on a "bad" one and select "delete" from the context menu. Then compact the folder and the bad ones are gone.
Now (TB 3.1.10 on Linux) that doesn't work anymore. The "bad" one still gets marked read and deleted as before, but the message pane now shows the contents of the "bad" one ! (In TB2 the "good" one kept being displayed).
What's more - and this is definitely a bug - the message list and message pane are now out if sync: the bad one shows in the pane but the "good" one remains selected in the list ... so I can't even bring it back into the message pane by clicking on it. I have to select yet another one (say the "ugly"), thereby marking it as read, then go back to the "good" one and mark the "ugly" again as "unread".
So, what I want is simply an option to tell TB that the selection shouldn't move after deletion (and of course the message pane should always show the selected message - or nothing if there is none selected).
