In 2013, one of the develors said: "At one time Balsa would rethread on every

deferred too long! One issue is that it's difficult to rethread in a sub-thread because
of the display interactions. We need to revisit that."
I think it simply hasn't been revisited yet. Not sure how to push it higher on
the list, unless one of the developers happens to be interested.
Well, I guess replacing libesmtp is more important right now -- that concerns
core functionality, the sorting is a minor issue in this light.
Well, the libesmtp replacement is in for testing... I'm not sure if it's
really complete, but at least I got no complaints yet. It will be *really*
helpful if you check the latest git code and give feedback, about both the smtp
functionality and the changed config gui.
And I fully agree with you that the broken sorting/threading is really
annoying, and should be fixed! Such an important issue being postponed for 3
or 4 years is not acceptable.
I'm sure patches would be welcome, but it's a bit beyond my abilities.
Beyond mine, too, I'm afraid. Getting new versions and complaining (i.e.
writing bug reports) is what I could do. :-)
For me too. I didn't write the code, and I don't know who actually added (or
disabled) it. Maybe Peter knows more? Peter, are you listening?
Listening :-)
It's been a long time since I looked at that code, and I need to get familiar with it
again. As I recall, sorting and threading are implemented uniformly for all types of
"local" mailboxes (i.e., not POP or IMAP), but caching the structure between
sessions may be implemented differently for Mbox, MH, and Maildir. It would help to know
if the issue is seen in all types or in only one type.
Best,
Peter
