Sorry for not replying earlier on. The problem in MailMate is that 
threads are fully threaded (showing all message<->reply relationships). 
It is not a simple matter of reversing the date sort to get what you 
want. What you need is a different flat threading mode in which the 
newest message is shown first. This is also closely related to a 
so-called conversation view where all messages are shown in the message 
view. The latter is something I would like to work on, but I cannot make 
any promises (and it is already a long standing issue/request).
