I'm not certain I understand what you want entirely. Sounds like you want to
get a folder set up so that the oldest to most recent messages appear at the
top. Your problem is that when you open a folder, the window is not scrolled
to the top, but reappears in whatever was its last position. Right? Several
things come to mind:
1. Click the message list pane (or tab to it) and then use your Home key
(or, on my iBook, Cmd-fn-Left Arrow, which should be the same on your
PowerBook, no?).
2. Click the "Sent" column header once, or twice if you want to keep the
same sort order. Resorting will cause the window to "lose" its scroll
positioning and jump to the top.
