My inbox used to show all mail in the order in which it was sent. Now (today) it shows all my email in groups of sender. I want it back the way it was, but can't figure out how to fix it. Help.

Isisombulu esikhethiweyo

I can see it is sorted by sender. The sort pointer is there and pointing up. Why not click on DATE as suggested before?

All I want, and it was this way before yesterday, is for my email to be sorted by date, NOT by sender. There is no heading date, btw. Help!!!

There is a small icon at the right end of the header bar. Click that for your choice of Columns to be turned on. If DATE is missing turn it on. Clicking any column header sorts on that column. Clicking the same header a a done time reverses the sort. There will be a small pointer on the right side of the sort by header.
