When I click on a folder, I expect the Message pane to scroll to the latest email. Sometimes it does but sometimes it doesn't.
Am I missing a setting or what?

Re: Go to latest email
Do you prefer ascending or descending sorting? Both seem to work okay on my configuration without doing anything other than click on the Date column or change view -> sort by though I prefer descending sorting (newest at top of folder, so no need for it to scroll)
See if you have the same problem if you temporarily disable all add-ons using "help -> restart with add-ons disabled".

Thanks for responding. I have been using ascending but I like your idea and changed the default sort order to descending. I did this in about:config but annoyingly I still had to go into the individual folder settings and change those as well as they appear to override the default.
I hope that's fixed it for me.

If you click the weird little widget at the far right of the column headers, at the very bottom of the list box is "apply columns to -> folder and its children". That might reduce the amount of work next time.

Fascinated by the little widget which I had not noticed before but it only seems to apply the same columns and doesn't change the sort order for me. My version is 60.7.2 32-bit Windows 10 by the way.

Whatever the folders sort order is set to gets inherited in the child folders too (at least last time I tried it) when you use "apply columns to -> folder and its children".
