Device model

Oneplus 8T

Steps to reproduce

Have multiple mails in the inbox, some of which are grouped into into a thread, and one of which is not

Tap a non-threaded e-mail to view it

Go to the threaded e-mails, either with the arrow buttons at the top (or swiping in the new version), or by archiving the e-mail, so K-9 automatically jumps to a different e-mail.

Expected behavior

It first goes to the oldest e-mail in the thread (assuming you were viewing an older message and jumped to the next one), and then as you keep archiving/swiping it goes to the next e-mail in the thread and so on.

Actual behavior

It only shows the newest e-mail in the thread, with no way to swipe to previous e-mails.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in the Android app using the listed version, device, and steps, then inspect the message-navigation behavior for threaded emails during swiping and archiving. Done means navigation reaches each message in the thread in order, including older messages, rather than only showing the newest one.
