The "Add recent messages on top of the list" could easily make the current view inconsistent both in non-threaded mode (e.g. mailbox might be

are
part of a thread aren't inserted into the thread).
But if this will be an option user will have a possibility to disable this "inconsistent" behaviour. Now, he can't.
Sorry, if it wasn't clear, I was proposing removing the feature altogether (as you and Alain have already +1'ed). Then no option is needed.
The main benefit of adding recent messages to the top of the list is
that
you can find them easily. So how about not adding this option, but
making
new messages easy to discover another way. For example, add a hyperlink above the message table "1 new message", and then clicking on it would select the new message.
I don't know if we need a new feature while we have now a filter with "Unread" position.
If, like me, you leave lots of messages unread in a mailbox then the Unread filter is not sufficient to take you to new messages.
