Is there a way to make the "next" button stop asking if it's ok to switch to another folder?

I just recently started using the "next" button to move from one unread message to the next. It's only a small problem, but every time the next unread message is in another folder or mailbox, it stops to ask if it's ok to move to another folder or mailbox. I was wondering if there was a way to set a default that it is always ok. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
