Mail feature missing

After reading an email, the default should be to move to next UNREAD email.

Mail does not do this.

How can I reverse the direction of movement in my Inbox ? I have to continuously move my cursor from a read email to an UNREAD email. That wastes time.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.3

Can I stop Mail from automatically marking emails as read (before I have read them)? I'm sure I'm not the only one with too much email. I will often skim through the summary list, deleting some and moving some to junkmail. This gets rid of a lot. But as I move or delete an email, my cursor moves to the next email in line and marks it read. I then have to click on it and mark it as unread. Unless there's a crystal ball connected, Mail can't tell if I'm going to read the email. Can I get it to mark it read once I've OPENED it instead of when the cursor simply lands on it?

Mail: How do I undo 'See more' in an email? Using Mail v15.0. How do I undo the 'see more' feature which appears as a blue link at the bottom of every received email (pic below)? For example, I received a reply email from Steve K and at the bottom of that email there is a blue 'See more from Steve K'. If I click on that it expands our entire email thread within that email below in green and blue text. However I can't find a 'see less' option to collapse that email thread again. So now I'm stuck with this insanely long email and every time I scroll down through my emails it takes an inordinate amount of time to get past it. I'm guessing that there is a simple way to collapse that email...? Thanks in advance for the help.
