<p dir="auto">I know I've said this before, and I know it's on the backlog somewhere, but if I could get <em>one</em> change in MailMate, it would be to sort threads by the most-recent date, not the oldest. The fact is I have way too many messages in my inbox (10K). If someone replies to a message from a week ago, I'm simply not going to see it if I have threading turned on.</p>

<p dir="auto">It should be sorted to the position of the newest message in the thread -- and a grey dot is shown if the thread is collapsed.</p>
<p dir="auto">But within a thread then the oldest message is at the top. This is because MailMate uses strict threading (parent-child hierarchy) which cannot really be reversed (other than the sorting of the root messages).</p>

<p dir="auto">Because that doesn't work, I can't use threading in my main window. I have a side window that shows the thread (actually, common subjects) of the currently selected item. At least that makes it fairly easy for me to browse the thread, even if it leaves the main mail window overly cluttered. I know, I'm asking for a feature that helps enable my bad habits. :)</p>

<p dir="auto">:-) The short term plan is to offer a different threading mode which I usually name “group threading”. This is a single level threading which allows the children to be sorted in reverse. It would probably also allow different conditions for threading, e.g., identical subjects which is another popular request.</p>

<p dir="auto">:-) I can only tell you that this feature is not far down on my list. The top item is better handling of HTML (and I don't mean an HTML editor) and I've actually finally started working on this.</p>
<p dir="auto">I have, by the way, created a very primitive way to state your “most wanted feature”: <a href="http://freron.com/subscribe">http://freron.com/subscribe</a></p>
