If there is somewhere other than View/sort to make the changes then I need a more simplified explanation of where that is.
I simply used View/sort by on the Menu bar. I was making a lot of changes because the choices are worded differently from those in OE and I had go by trial and error to find what would sort SeaMonkey mail and NGs like I have the sorting in OE. If I change anything in the View/sort dropdown that changes descending back to ascending. I am not touching descending. It automatically changes back to ascending so I assume assending is default. How do I make descending default so it will never change back? I don't think it is possible to do this. You are right that once I have made changes in each of my Identities (I guess SeaMonkey doesn't use that label allthough Thunderbird did - don't know if it does now as I haven't used it in a long while) and then I close and restart SM mail that descending order is still used. But if I change anything else in View/sort that makes descending revert to ascending even though I did not change descending. > _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
