This could be inspired by a contextmenu plugin implementation.
One more thought: There should be a 'Reset to default' option.
And, this sorting and grouping state should be a per-folder one...
So, may be one more option - 'Reset all to default' may be useful.
In general I like your idea even more then mine ;)
It even adds missing control over what columns are displayed and adds
overall consistency to a whole UI.

I prefer one-level. It is quicker to work with. And size of menu is
almost constant, so I see no need for a second level. That second level
is cool for a contextmenu, which has a (variable sized) list of folders
to move message to, but not for a sorting control I think.
Only 'Reset' commands could be moved to a second level, as they are not
of a frequent use.
Something like this:
Reset view -> This folder
All folders
And one more note about possible implementation: clicks on columns
checkboxes shouldn't hide menu, while click on sorting and grouping
radios should.

Yep, you are right about threading. But what about index_sort? Should
click on any header disable it and switch to a 'sorted' mode? Ah, yes,
it should.
Best,
