Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.30.2 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start evolution 2. Group by threads 3. Sort according to date 4. Look at the date filed Actual results: When grouped by thread, the thread retains the date of the first message in the thread and not the last message, when sorting by date. Expected results: The thread should use the date of the last message in the thread for sorting. Additional info:
Thanks for a bug report. This seems to work fine for me. There is a hidden option to influence this behaviour. Open a gconf-editor and check /apps/evolution/mail/display/thread_latest the default value is 'true' (checked), and means that threads are sorted by the latest date in it. I suppose you have this option unchecked. The long description states: This setting specifies whether the threads should be sorted based on latest message in each thread, rather than by message's date. Evolution requires a restart. Could you check the value of the option and try to change it, if necessary, please?
Thank you ... that worked!
