How to quickly jump to the next or previous message in Gmail

  keyboard shortcuts allow you to quickly open your next and previous emails in Gmail.

When you read an email in Gmail, it reads one message, then the next, and then reads it again.

This is almost homogeneous and natural, so Gmail moves easily from one message to the next. Of course, when you open a mail in Gmail, it's in the navigation bar.and Older> link is available. However, it makes the keyboard more elegant and efficient to use.

To quickly move to the next or previous message in Gmail, follow these steps:

  • You can also click the Newer button ( < ) in the toolbar .
