Dear Ester. Yes, I did interact with the date field i.e. interact with the table and put the cursor on the date field.
Ester, please correct me if I'm wrong, but when I got my Mac (then i was in the USA) with a friend who is also on the Mac list, his configurations of mail was how I found mine at the time with the columns of information thus, from, or to, subject, date received. This was before I formatted my Mac Book Pro earlier this week. So, my question to you Ester is and others, did something change when we updated our Macs recently? This is driving me mad because I'm so sure that our columns were the other way round rather what they are now!
