+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #539468 +++

If I'm sitting with the latest message displayed on the message list and a new message arrives the list does not scroll to show that new message.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Scroll the message list to the most recent message
2. Have someone send you a new message or send one to yourself

Actual Results:  
The message arrives but you cannot see it without scrolling the window.

Expected Results:  
The new message should become visible on the message list without me having to do anything.

ok, thanks...and so why don't you fix it? ;-) I think that's essential. Please, option on settings to autoscroll to the latest received message, on inbox and sent both (at least), just when you click on the related folder.
