There are no arrows on any of my columns either but if you right click on the date heading in the display you can tell evolution how to sort the mail. The sorting is done on the date and time received. But I don't want that left strictly that way since then threading does not work, So I am not clear on exactly what you are doing. Of course the sorting is done individually on each folder. > > That is "workable" for me, though I must admit to being annoyed by your > situation also.... > > --Rob > -- Aaron Konstam <akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
