User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030728 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1

As each email is marked for deletion (eg. deleting heaps of spams), the cursor
automatically moves to the next email.  This is great, however once the cursor
reaches the bottom of the screen, it scrolls down a mail at a time.  It would be
nice if it jumped the selection into the middle of the screen, allowing you to
see 5 or 6 mails ahead of where you are deleting at all times.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Keep deleting emails from an IMAP box (set to mark them as deleted).
2.
3.

This is basically a dupe of bug 155273.
