A list of unread emails, I double click one to read. Is there a shortcut to open the next email in the list ?

When I used Outlook and opened an email I could move to the next in the list by pressing Ctrl-< (or Ctrl->) which would close the window of the letter being read and open the next letter in a new window. Can T-bird do this somehow?

Explore the menu system. You never know what you might learn

Alt to make the Menu Bar appear. Go-Next or Go-Previous to see the command and shortcuts.

The standard keyboard navigation keys for moving from message to message (N, P, B, F, [, ]) DO NOT WORK for me. I'm in 31.0 in windows XP Sp3. I would appreciate hints for troubleshooting this problem.

johanus, I think it would be better to start a new thread for your problem.
