Let's try again :-)

When you have the preview pane disabled, and you are viewing a message body (not the header--the message itself is open in its own window), then all the normal keyboard accelerators of menu access of the main window, including short-cuts (like 'm' for move to folder) no longer operate because the focus is now in the opened message window.

The opened message window has no menu items for previous/next/move to folder/etc.  So in order to deal with the message: move to the next message or file it to a folder, you have to first <ESCAPE> to close the window.

Most modern email readers allow a message to be disposed of directly when it is open--move to the next or previous, delete it, move it to a folder, etc.

So what I'm saying is those of us who don't like using a restricted preview and want to read email messages in a full window of their own now have to close each message before we can do anything with deciding upon its destiny or moving to another message. This is extra work which is unnecessary.
