I cannot believe this bug report was not yet submitted, but I couldn't find one in several searches.. apologies if this is duplicate.

When you execute Delete or Junk action (by [Del]/[J] or the corresponding icon), the highlight should skip deleted message and sit on the next "not-deleted" message, not the very next message whether it's deleted or not.

This is the more important because when you open a folder, message filters or junk mail control may have moved some messages elsewhere and/or deleted some. When you go over the rest (by J-J-J-... when you have a lot of spam :D), you shouldn't be bothered by those already taken care of.

For example, the "mutt" email client does exactly this. When you traverse through the folder, already-deleted messages are never highlighted inadvertently; to choose one, you should use Shift+J/K (instead of plain J/K) or enter its message number.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Look for a deleted message (marked by a strikethrough, a line through the middle) - let's call this X.
2. Highlight the previous message.
3. Press [Delete].

Actual Results:  
The highlight moves to the deleted message (X).
You should manually highlight the next "not-deleted" message (often by [N]).

Expected Results:  
The highlight should move to the next "not-deleted" message.

MailNews bug 65823.  Probably a dupe in the backend

xref bug 200138, bug 263874 -- similar issue for mail marked as junk.
