Yes! It seems much more logical to me to have email listed in that way - oldest comes first!! so i was really pleased to see that sort option..... , but when i open the mail folder, I still want the default focus to be on the newest email - i.e. bottom of the message-list rather than top! (i.e. the equvalent of scrolling right down to the bottom of the pane)
I know, I know, it's my fault for having 1000's of emails cluttering up my mailbox :-) so if its not an easy change, just close this as "user error: user too untidy"!
