        Hi,
the window tries to pick "the next/previous message which will be still
visible (usually not junk & not deleted)", thus when you delete the
last message in the list, then the previous message is picked, because
there is no next message. Similarly for the previous message selection.

Back to the original question. I'm not sure which options you tried
with the dconf-editor, but there is this one:

   $ gsettings set org.gnome.evolution.mail \
        browser-close-on-delete-or-junk true

When set to true, the message marked as deleted/junk in the dedicated
window will not move to the next/previous message, but will close the
window instead. This option is available since 3.30:
