Why don’t you believe in “Deleting” an email and going to the next one? Why launch users back to the Inbox? Why can I archive and go to the next message, but not DELETE and go to the next message?
I realize it “looks” the same, but there’s some psychological neurosis some of us have developed that still makes archived mails somewhere that are completely superfluous annoying. I like having the confidence that I can find what I want to find WHEN I NEED IT, not search through mountains of stuff. I was a pretty early user of GMail, using it the first week it came out. I have a lot of stuff that I just DONT NEED anymore but its such a pain for me to delete it in any efficient way.
Consider this a warning. I’m about-to greasemonkey you if you don’t watch out.
Random thought: What if you could hire someone to clean out your inbox on a regular basis? I’ve tried unsubscribing to lists, adding crazy spam filters, etc. It just isn’t enough. I’m a victim of the EEEMP workweek, as CC would say.

Thanks for the link, dude…
I can empathize with your DELETE-and-go-to-in-box beef. But even though you are okay with the ARCHIVE-and-go-to-next-message function, I bet someone out there is not. What if Gmail could learn each individual’s email behaviour, and eventually self-automate its interactivity to his or her preferences, similar to how Amazon auto-recommends books it thinks you may like based on your search history.
