I have to use Outlook for work mail and I am trying to configure Thunderbird to behave similarly

I have my messages sorted in DESCENDING date/time (so the newest is always at the top)

If I start reading messages from the bottom (oldest) I'd like Thunderbird to move UP to the next message on a Delete

It doesn't, it always tries to move DOWN the list of messages - thus moving to less new ones

Can I change this anywhere? I've looked, bt nothing is obvious

Thanks

Phil G
