Open the first message in the list
In the past few weeks, something changed to where I no longer have the option of having the first email selected when I navigate to a folder in Outlook (desktop or web client).
There used to be an option in settings "What do you want us to do when you open Outlook?" that had a setting of "open the first message in the list", but that is now missing.
How do I get that option back? Is there some setting I need to enable to make that option come back? I know the new UI is being forced on us now, but I haven't seen anything indicating that this was a feature that was removed - the option of not having it auto-select the first message was always an option as well, so I don't understand why a way to toggle between the two is no longer present.

It's gone. Or will be as the latest release rolls out to more accounts. Seeing reports of the same missing setting on Reddit as well. Nothing official from Microsoft that I can find. All you can hope for is that's a bug and they'll fix it in a newer release by putting it back.
