Describe the solution you'd like

There should be an option to reverse the threaded messages order - so to have latest at the top, not at the bottom. It doesn't make sense that I need to scroll down to find latest message.
For Gmail it's possible with browser addons, like this one: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/gmail-reverse-conversatio/kfgepjmmgamniaefbjlbacahkjjnjoaa

Research direction

Start by locating the mail conversation view and the code that orders threaded messages. Check how the current oldest-first order is produced and where a user option could be stored. Done means users can choose latest-first ordering and the selected order is visible in threaded conversations.
