Selecting the following viewing parameters provides wrong results: - Sort by Date - Descending - Threaded will show the threads in descending order with the thread containing the latest mail topmost However within the threads the mails are sorted ascending. Ascending works right but gives the latest mails at the bottom. btw. Evolution demonstrates the correct behaviour.
