This is what I'm doing now, actually switching between receive date and create date, because some sender has corrupted clock or wrong timezone, scrambling the list order again. I thought that using receive date could lead to a quite perfectly ordered list. (I know that during its travel between the sender's server and my server mail can get struck in some queue and so I can actually receive some mail out of order, but this is the best we can get) I also seem to recall that in older versions of TB I had no issues with "receive time" sorting, but maybe it was an old 2.x version. Now I'm running my own mail server, so my pop3 server is on a 100 Mbit connection, and I get mail very fast, maybe 50 messages/second. Maybe another solution could be not to sort anything at all, this should show messages the way they are loaded into message base, but this could not be an option, depending on the way messages are actually inserted into the database. Anyway, I'd like some feedback from Ritlabs: is this a bug? What's the resolution of the "received" timestamp? Can this problem be solved easily or not? -- Fabio "Kurgan" Muzzi Using The Bat! v3.5.30 on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 4 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.51.10 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
