Now I know /why/ this is happening I can try to work around it; hadn't realised that that was what was causing it. Its not configurable. - Chenthill. brewster: This is interesting, and raises an additional question or two. I always get my newest at the bottom, and here's how... I have over twenty different folders, for things like interest areas, personal business categories, or e-group memberships, like this group. I tend to leave a lot of messages in the folders, because I will eventually perform differing operations on various ones, depending upon the subject, and I don't always have time to do those things right away. So where new (unread) messages show up is decidedly an issue. I sort by date, oldest first. So my unreads generally appear at the bottom, unless they're a spam dated 1969 which somehow slipped through the filters :-) But here's an Evo artifact I have never understood - sometimes, not consistently, when I click on an unread to highlight that line, the entire body of messages will shift around, usually pushing the bottom ones off the screen. There does not appear to be any logical purpose for this motion, and worst, it doesn't always take place. Has anyone else encountered this phenomenon? The other one that is a bit disconcerting is that there seems to be a bug in Evo's reporting on the left-hand pane where the folders list appears, of how many unreads are in a given folder. I can be staring right at a main screen that shows all eight messages in a folder, with every single one of the eight displaying as read, yet the left-hand list pane entry shows that folder as having one (or sometimes two) unread messages. Has anyone else noticed that one? Thanks, Brewster -- *** Embrace a sharing community of sustainable justice low-carbon diversity *** W.

The sender's date is often pure fantasy.

When you say the messages shift around, do you mean the sort order changes? Also, do you have threading enabled? Threading modifies the strict date order.

Has anyone else noticed that one? Yes, it's a known bug and is quite annoying. If you're talking about IMAP folders you can sometimes fix it by unsubscribing from the folder and resubscribing it. This forces Evo to update everything.

If it were a question of synch problems with a remote server one could let it pass, as these things can be tricky, but all POP info is completely local. In particular, the notion of which messages have been read doesn't depend on anything on the server. poc ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
