Displaying next message

I am presently using Office Outlook 2007 on my Vista Home Premium system and
everything is working as I believe it should. There is one thing however,
which I find annoying and time consuming but perhaps I am not using the
right sequence.

With Windows Mail, I could open an incoming message and, when I have
finished reading it, I could go on to the next message (already opened) just
by pressing a "down arrow". There is no arrow in Outlook 2007 and to read
the next message, I have to go back to the list and start again to select
and open. Is there a way to access the next message directly? I find it
difficult to read messages in the preview pane.

Thanks for your help - I hope I have explained my request in an
understandable way.

Please disregard this inquiry. I do not know how I missed it. The
application is exactly the same.
Thanks anyhow.
