Q: iPad Mail and why it always makes me scroll up to see newest emails

I have my iPad downloading my mail fom an Exchange server, and eveytime I open the mail app, it pops me in the middle of all the emails in my inbox. I want it to default to the most recent one that came in. Right now I have to scroll to the top of my inbox.

    It seems to remember the last place you were at when you left the app. you do know tha tap the time bar area to jump to the top trick, right? If not just tap the area whre the AT&T or iPad words ppear above the mail list and it should jump to the top immediately.

    If tapping the AT&T or iPad text instead sends you back up a level to the mailboxes, first tap in the Search box, and then on the AT&T / iPad text.

     

    I can't believe it's taken me, and so many others it seems from the forum posts, so long to find this shortcut.  Clearly not the most intuitive!

    Yes mail seems to remember where you were when you last opened it on my iPad. And yes if you tap in the open area just above where it says inbox it will scroll to the newest email in your inbox. Thanks for posting!

    That's just a short cut to the top - it doesn't resolve the strange way iPad mail opens up, usuallly on a very old msg.  Still happening on IOS 10. About time Apple fixed it!
