Steps to reproduce:

1) Mailbox A has 0 unread messages. We are currently in mailbox A.
2) Mailbox B has 1 unread message.
3) Press the shortcut key (N) to go to the next unread message.


Actual results:

Confirmation dialog pops up to notify the user that the next unread message is not in the current mailbox.


Expected results:

While this behaviour seems to be intended, and rightfully so, for my usage I would like to have the choice to jump to the next unread message without having the confirmation dialog tell me the message I will jump to is in a different mailbox. 

Reasoning: 
1) personally, it is already very apparent which mailbox a message is under
2) can go through all my emails in all my accounts faster and with a less jarring experience

If there can even be a flag that can be set in the configs for advanced users, that would be awesome! Thanks.

You're in luck, set the pref mailnews.nav_crosses_folders

     // 0: "next" goes to the next folder, without prompting
     // 1: "next" goes to the next folder, and prompts (the default)
     // 2: "next" does nothing when there are no unread messages
