Go to /Configuration/Preferences/Display/Summaries, and on the 'Message List'
tab uncheck "Execute immediately when moving or deleting messages".

Use /Tools/Execute to perform the action.

Go to /Configuration/Preferences/Display/Summaries, and on the 'Message List'
and in the 'Open message when selected' frame uncheck everything, (or what
suits you).

The selector always moves, backwards or forwards dependent on that hidden
preference you found, but the newly selected message needn't be opened (and
therefore won't be marked as read).
