The new Mail system

While I really like it and you did a nice thing by changing how the delete function works, there is one small problem for me:

I find that when dealing with a long email chain, having to scroll to the bottom each time with a new message is rather annoying. Is there a switch I am missing where the new messages come out on top or can it be changed so that happens?

Thanks!

Is this going to be a premium feature?

Doesn't look like it is. It has replaced the original mail system so unless Free Members can't use the mail system any more, it would be available to anyone.

TopekaDom:
I'm glad to hear your like the upgrade!
The natural order of reading is from top to bottom so it makes sense to read the messages in chronological order and not the other way around.
It takes some time getting used to when making the switch from the existing mail system, however the screen should be auto focused at the bottom so most recent messages should be before your eyes without having to scroll.

The new mailbox is released gradually and eventually will reach everyone. Premium users get early access.

Yeah maybe for European readers but US based email systems are set up for the latest message on top and then people can scroll down to remind themselves what was being said. Having to read the entire thread or scroll down the entire thread is fairly annoying.

How long is the old system going to available?

Topeka's right on that point. I'm also used to new messages on top. Older missives that I don't purge I only use for reference.

The new system won't affect me very much as I zap all older messages once I know I won't need them anymore, but for those who don't, the need to scroll down for the latest and the greatest can be a pain in the ass.

One solution would be a sorting option, "Newest First/ Oldest First" "Cheapest First".. and so forth.

...well, the latter applies in Marketplace of course, but you get my drift
