I disagree with this.  if we are going to change the action, we should  
create a brand new preference rather than adapting to the (not  
necessarily intended) action of the old preference.  This is not a big  
deal given we are releasing a new major version and we can convert the  
old preference.

The bigger issue that I see is that the default behavior for  
traditional/mobile vs. dynamic is completely opposite.  It makes more  
sense in traditional/mobile to move to the next message, since you are  
explicitly in message view.  However, for the dynamic mailbox/preview  
page, the default makes much more sense to result in resetting the  
message selection rather than moving to the next message.

It is going to be troublesome to have a preference that works across  
all views in this case, IMHO.
