Guys,

I’m using an M1 MacBook Pro running Sonoma 14.5.1.  I’ve discovered what I 
think is something weird about Apple Mail when it comes to reading long 
threads.  If one expands a long thread, the expectation should be that you 
start reading from the beginning of the thread and delete messages as you 
finish them, if that’s what you want.  Each successive deletion should move the 
reader to the next message in chronological order,  however, my experience has 
consistently been that deleting messages sends the reader hither, thither and 
yawn.  While there seems to be no real exact pattern to what happens, I find 
that I am either sent several messages down the thread, or, I’m sent to the 
very top of the thread.  The only way I know things are wrong is that I have 
enough vision to understand that I’ve been bounced somewhere other than where I 
should be.  

It used to be that CMD Option Delete, (where Delete is on the Sixpack, would 
deliver the desired result.  But now, using Cmd Option Delete removes the 
message such that it can’t be restored with Cmd Z.  Further, using this method 
doesn’t send the message to the trash.  I went looking for a message I removed 
in this fashion and it was nowhere to be found. So, I can’t use this deletion 
method anymore.  

I developed a case through Apple Accessibility and we’ve determined that this 
is a mail thing, not an accessibility thing, because the behavior is identical 
regardless of whether Vo is ON or OFF.  

Does anyone here have the same experience?  Does anyone here have a reliable KS 
for deleting a message from a mail thread while being certain of moving to the 
next message in said thread?

Thanks,
Kevin
