Created attachment 112094 [details] the evolution main window Shows the wrong placement AM/PM
Thanks for the report. The issue here is that you have threading turned on, and I believe Evolution is first organising the emails into trees based on mail threading, and then the mails are sorted at each level of the tree according to date. Hence the 2.44PM mail appears above the 11.09AM one since it is a descendent of an earlier thread. You can fix this by turning threading off with Ctrl-T. If you have suggestions for improvements to the email view, they should be reported to the authors of the program. Most upstream authors use a bug tracking system like bugzilla, and more people who know the code will be looking at the bug report there. The upstream bug tracking system to use for Evolution is: http://bugzilla.ximian.com/
