thunderbird does not sort mails right

[Wolf Rogner]

I store my mail in subfolders.

Selecting the following viewing parameters provides wrong results:

- Sort by Date
- Descending
- Threaded

will show the threads in descending order with the thread containing the latest mail topmost

However within the threads the mails are sorted ascending.

Ascending works right but gives the latest mails at the bottom.

btw. Evolution demonstrates the correct behaviour.

Hello Wolf,
Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with Thunderbird.

You made this bug report in 2012 and there have been several versions of Ubuntu and Thunderbird since then.

Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the ticket?
Or, if it is still a problem, could you run the following (only once):
apport-collect BUGNUMBER

and upload the updated logs and and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.

Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu and Thunderbird better.

G

Oh dear, this indeed is no longer an issue.

I have long since forgotten about it. But thanks for asking.

cheers Wolf
