Mail: starts at bottom of inbox

Hi all,

Wondering if anyone else is frustrated by this rather annoying mail setting. Each time I click on the mail icon -whether launching or picking up after using another app- mail decides to resume by showing the complete bottom of my inbox. This is very frustrating as I obviously am focused on reading my most recent email, at the very top.

Unless I want to change my settings and have most recent emails at the bottom of the page, I am forced to scroll my whole inbox all the way to the top every time I exit & return to the app.

Anyone figure a way to stop this nonsense?
