I've installed Office 2007, so Outlook 2007 trook over from Outlook 2003.
That's fine.

However, one annoying behavior I'm seeing is that the selected message
when I click on a folder in the tree ALWAYS is the first message in the
folder I select. In Outlook 2003, the default was to select the last
message in the folder I picked. Since I have my message display set up to
order by Received Date ascending, this means that Outlook 2007 always
shows me the oldest message in the folder by default. I want to see the
newest.

Is there some place I'm supposed to give it a hint about this desire on my
part? I'd search for answers, but I can't express my issue in anything
less than the above paragraph. Any fewer keywords and I get lots of
results, none of which apply...

Thanks.
