I was, too, very used to seeing newer messages on top on a conversation 
view on Mail.app. What helped me transition to MailMate were two things:

- In the Preferences > Viewer, select Bold font for unread messages. 
This makes it easy to see a thread that contains unread messages so you 
don't miss anything new. It is a little disconcerting to see a collapsed 
thread showing the first "From" address as new, but you can get used to 
knowing it doesn't imply that particular mail is new but at least one 
mail is new within the thread.
- Custom keyboard navigation keys. I mapped "l", which I use to quickly 
go to the last message (newest message) in a thread (lastOfThread) 
regardless if its a new message or not, "h" to collapse the thread and 
move to other threads (collapseThread), and "n" and "p" to take you to 
the next unread message or Previous unread message regardless of what 
thread has the new message.

I've found this works great for me and I would have a hard time going 
back to navigating Mail.app with the arrow keys.
