Re: Pine and Outlook: Outlook messes up message ordering ... among other things ...

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Rouble,

It sounds to me like the pine client is sorting by date/time
modified/accessed versus arrival. At least this would certainly seem to fit
the description. I'm not familiar with recent versions of Pine, but I
wonder if there is a way to change what field is used for sorting within the
program.

Kind Regards,
