Almost.. As i understand SM if there is no "sort order" applied the order used is "arrival". Mail that arrived later is then always in the top of the list. If i then do a "Date" order in order to sort emails top-down or down-top i will reorder email's to the date in the email which might differ from arrival order.. There is then no way of actually have a "arrival" order that lets one to see later arrived mails either in top or bottom of the list. Regardless above there is some inconsistence in the "search" list. When searching for example INBOX and getting a search list later arrived mails are in the bottom of the list and not in the top as in the ordinary mail list..;-) -- When thinking about what i feel strange is that i have to remember in which order i did a sort ( if one ) when reading mails. Since next/previus is a down/up in a list that i cannot see i have to try to visualize the list and how it looked in order to press either next/previus and get the correct action. /Sqm > >> Thanks.
