I have a folder that show message from both Inbox and Sent, so I can see my communication as threads. Suddenly new mails that I have answered is misplaced (wrong date order, see pic), if I click on the date column, the mails find their right place again. If I go to another folder, that be the Inbox at the same account or a folder in another account and then go back to the problem folder, the mails appear out of order again. Hope you know how to fix this. Thanks in advance Best regards Asger

Perhaps look at the fixed items in the 60.3.2 release notes. Have you updated yet?

Hi Matt Thanks a lot, that helped, but there are still a little problem, it is only in the Inbox though, so I'm not bothered in my day to day use.

I don't know why the last update wasn't installed, I usually get a notice when there is a new one ready to install, but it is installed now and things are working again in this great mail program.

Thanks again Best regards Asger
