If I get 100 messages, I want to start with the oldest and work my way up to
the top. I have Outlook set to "open previous item" in the Options for
"After moving or deleting an open item". As long as I receive no email
during the time I am working, if I delete or move the email I am reading, it
goes to the previous as expected.

However, if I receive an email while working on an email, then it jumps up
to the new email when I delete the email I am reading. This is getting
pretty frustrating, as I then have to scroll down over 50 messages to get
back to where I was! Why is it doing this?

does it work the same if you sort by oldest messages on top?
