Bug Description

Binary package hint: thunderbird

thunderbird should be able to sort messages by date received as opposed to date sent, because everyone can fake this date and some spam messages, delayed emails, misconfigured systems lead to incorrect sorting. you can already sort by order received but this breaks grouping by day/week. thus i suggest sorting by date sent.
