When looking through long lists of archived emails, I often sort by
sender or recipient or date.
Is there any way to combine these sort methods, for instance sort by
sender, then secondarily by another column such as date?
When sorting by sender, a secondary sort seems to be automatically set
according to the recipient's name. Beyond that, the emails seem to
appear in random order.
I think SeaMonkey, like all other mail clients, can only sort mail one way
at a time.
You could create a filter for your mail archive that sorts it the way you
want. On how to create filters, see SM's helpfile.
I use filters to route incoming emails, but I didn't know they could
sort email in archives.
In the help file, I found a section on "Creating Message Filters," but
it only explains how to filter incoming messages. Are there other
kinds of filters in SeaMonkey?
If you create a filter that applies to a particular folder, you can tell
it to run now on the target folder. In the filter management pane, click
the "Run now" button. Then it will apply to whatever messages are
already there.
