Apparently that's something that's just not yet working in RC1 - or at least, not reliably.

Eventually I discovered that I could get a folder sorted the way I'm accustomed to by picking the right combination of values for four different options using two of the new buttons in the message list header.  Indeed, I could have a single list of messages, with new ones added to the end as they arrive, and navigate through them using the arrow keys as before.

But my choices disappeared if I changed to another folder and then returned.  And with about 20 folders, setting that combination of options one folder at a time would be a real chore, even if they DID stay set the way I want them.  I couldn't find anywhere that I could make the same setting apply as a default to all the folders.  (Maybe it's the same problem?)

I'm sure this will all be fixed before release.  KMail in KDE 3.5 and 4.1 was good enough to make me forget all about Thunderbird, my email client for many years.  I was obviously just wrong about what "RC1" means to KDE.
