No, I don't mean Sort by: Order Received. As I wrote, I can see what happen with that sort order. But I can't see what happen with the plain Received sorting that is different from sorting by Date. OK, here's a theory: If you look at a message header, you'll see that it contains Date: and Received: fields. The Date: field is the date attached by the sending computer, which may or may not be accurate. The Received: fields are attached by the various servers that handle the message en route. So if you sort by Date:, you're sorting by when the sender's computer thought it sent it, and if you sort by Received:, you're sorting by when one of the mail servers thought it got it. Could be as much as several days apart. How do you sort by Received. I don't have that option. In my SeaMonkey, I have no such option. I do have Sort by Order Received. Is that what you're talking about. I've found that is set to the time the message is placed in the mail folder. For example, if I get three messages: A, B and C - in that order, then move them into another mail folder in this order: First B, then A, then C, and the other mail folder is set to display in the Order Received, the messages are display in this order: B, A, C. As far as I can see, it's not using the dates in the received headers at all. Perhaps this changed for SM 2.x.
