When the message view window is selected, you cannot use the arrow keys for
moving to the next / previous message (like you can in the headers view),
since those are already assigned to cursor movement in the message. However,
instead can use the @key{p} (or @key{M-up}) and @key{n} (or @key{M-down}) keys
for moving to the previous and the next message, respectively. These keys also
work in the headers view.
You can change the selected window from the headers-view to the message-view
and vice-versa with @code{mu4e-select-other-view}, bound to @key{y}.
