What distro is this? You should have, in the General section, Show Quick Search Display message sizes Show crypto icons Show attachment icon Threaded messge list You should also have a section called 'Threaded Message List Options'. > As I said, I couldn't find an appropriate option anywhere, either as a > general option or for the folders themselves.

If you don't have the option as described above, see if you can set it from the Folders menu in the main screen. You'll have to do it for every folder where it matters to you, but it should work. Then, when threading is off, click on the Date field header. It's a toggle switch for Ascending and Descending sort. You can use the Folder threading switch to temporarily switch threading on if you need to refer back to earlier in the thread, then go back to your preferred method. The reason I love kmail so much is that it is possible to work in pretty well any way that suits you :-) HTH Anne
