Whenever you archive or delete an email message, you are sent back to inbox window by default in Gmail. However, in other email services like Yahoo Mail, deleting an email message opens next email message conversation automatically. Now you can customize Gmail to get similar feature to automatically open next email message conversation instead of going back to inbox window.
