I have filed a bug #44476 regarding the inability to read the next
message smoothly after deleting the first message.   The response was
that this was not a bug.  The ability to smoothly read multiple messages
may be re-integrated into a future version of evolution, such as 1.6.

The suggested workaround from ximian was to use the preview screen to
read messages.  My workaround is to use evolution 1.2.4 and ignore 1.4. 
Or perhaps you could write a bug report that will get an earlier
response from ximian.
