OK. I tried that. Yes, the next selected email doesn't "open" but it
is selected. Is it really not open or we just cant see it open?
This is a partial solution. Thank you.

PM G4 933 and Mail 3.6. Is there any way that Mail will not select
the next message after deleting a message? In other words, if you
open Mail then select a message and delete it, Mail automatically
goes to the next message (and it is now "read"). Can I stop it
from selecting the next message?
The only way to stop Mail from selecting the next message and thus
opening it is to double-click the horizontal divider bar between the
list of e-mails pane and the pane for the currently selected e-mail
below it. This action moves the divider bar to the bottom of the
Mail box and thus allows you to delete any and/or all e-mails while
avoiding opening any. It's a perfect way to delete spam messages
without opening them or causing Mail to mark e-mails after the
deleted messages as "read." To restore the divider bar to its
"normal" position, simply double-click on it after you've deleted
messages.
This is a neat way to avoid inadvertently letting a spammer know
their message has been sent to a "live" e-mail address since most
spam reports back to the sender as soon as an e-mail is opened. I
use it all the time to delete suspected spam as well as e-mails Mail
marks as Junk.
