I guess, if you do not use a preview pane for viewing your messages, in which case you press the left < or right > arrows on your keyboard to view the next or previous messages, you would not be able to easily view the next message because you have "opened" a message to its own window. I'm not aware of any other email client that when you open a message to its own window, a simple key stroke will close the window and open the next message in a new window.

Or am I missing something here?
