I knew that, but I generally browse my mail with my right hand on the 
trackball. Using the keyboard means I have to sit up straight again.

Sure, but a rather round about way with way to many mouse gestures to my 
taste.

Ah, I tried to customize the new toolbar above the message but the 
button was not in that list. Apparently next message can only be in the 
general toolbar on top. Makes no sense to me, I still have to mouse a 
long way. Anyway this is what I was used to, so I also added the 
forward, the reply, and the reply to all there, just I have almost 
succeeded in undoing all improvements.
Thanks for the reply, it made me look in the place where it used to be 
but where I didn't expect it any more because I assumed they would be 
consistent.
