I'm not sure if I have the same problem but I'll explain it. Messages I received in Thunderbird did not actually have the right 'Received' date. So I added mailnews.customDBHeaders = " Received" and now the received column shows the date when my mail was actually received. But sorting by 'Received' is still no different from supporting by date. So I tried 'Order Received' and that seems to work except with threaded messages. For example ascending threaded:
foo 100 bar 102 -re:bar 105 qux 103 So I would expect that the 'bar' thread would come after qux but it doesn't. This is actually a big problem sometimes because I have a lot of messages in my inbox and sometimes when they don't arrive for several days they end up way back earlier in the list and I don't even notice them. I will upload two screenshots. In fairness that happens rarely but I'm surprised this bug has been open for a decade. How do we get it handed off to someone? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/115153 Title: Counter intuitive ordering for threaded Email ordered by "order received' Status in Mozilla Thunderbird: Confirmed Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: mozilla-thunderbird -> Go to the inbox, set your view to threaded and your sorting to order received -> Receive an email to an older thread The thread will remain in the same spot in the list, even though of its children is my most current email and should be on top. The correct way to do this would be to have the entire thread move up to the top, based on the received status of the children in the thread view.
