Synopsis: [usability] Reverse sorting option for mail display

Description of Problem:
Cannot conveniently revert the sorting order (newest mails on top).
This is IMO important, as otherwise I have to scroll down everytime I
want to read my latest mails, especially with very large mail folders.
While I can change the sorting order using the columns, it has several
problems:

- The "received" column on which should be sorted is not visible by
default, so I have to click "customize current view" in the context menu
to change the order.
- I have to do this for every mail folder and then again when I add a
new mail folder.
- When I delete a mail, the next mail below the deleted one is selected.
That's annoying when newer mails are above the current selection.

My suggestions to solve this problem would be (one of those):
1) Change the default for the application to show newest mails on top
(though I can understand that this is not the most logical thing). "The
Bat!" for Windows uses this sorting order for example.
2) Add a preference for this which changes the sorting order of all
current folders and the default for new folders. It should also reverse
mail selection after deleting a mail.
3) Simply scroll down the view to the bottom by default whenever I open
a folder.

All of those would equally make the application a lot more convenient
for me. I apologize if this was already taken care off in the current
Beta, as I didn't try this yet (need Red Carpet for RH 8 :)).
