Sorry about that.

If I switch from one folder to another, where I end up in that new 
folder seems to be nearly random:


The main strategy is that you should end up where you were the last time 
you viewed the folder. There seems to be a combination of this and 
possible bugs resulting in the following.


Sometimes I end up at the most recent message.  (This is good.  I like 
this.)


Sometimes I end up at a random point in the folder.  (This is not so 
good.)


Sometimes I end up at the oldest message.  (This is really not good.  
I don't like this.)


There's no Preference setting for this that I can see.  The Principle 
of Least Surprise™ says I should either get put at the most recent 
message, or whatever the message was that I was viewing the last time 
I visited the folder.


Is there some way to control this behavior?


Unfortunately not, but I'll make sure to note your comments such that I 
remember them when I get around to refactoring the whole mailbox state 
store/restore system.

It seems that MM generally remembers the last state for each mailbox. If 
switching after a search, it seems to change the state to bring search 
result into view, which I find sometimes confusing.
