Option to open previous message when current message is deleted or moved #476
Description
Sort messages by date, so unread are at the top. Process messages from the bottom, that is per arrival time.
Select a message, hit Delete to delete the message.
Actual results:
Tthe next (already read) message that gets selected and displayed.
Expected results:
There should be an option so that the user has the control over this.
The options should be "always select next", "always select previous", "no auto-selection (deselect)", "select next unread", "select the last previous selection", ...
There is config mail.delete_matches_sort_order but setting that to true also does not seem to work.

Reason to report here: TB did not fix that in 10 years.
There was addon "Select Prev on Delete" which was supposed to work in TB 112-118 but it would not work when TB starts, it needed disable/enable each time to work. It does not work in TB 128, seems abandoned.
