BUT, MailMate also remembers previously selected columns in order to have a secondary sorting criterium. If you select the unread column header and then the date header column then it could result in the behavior you describe (if I've read it right this time). Try sorting by different columns before sorting by date column and see if that changes the behavior.

Thanks, Benny.  I didn't realize there could be a secondary sort.  The behavior was as if the secondary sort was "Unread", but the sort order was opposite that of the Date Received.  I may have changed the secondary sort to put Unread messages below (after) read messages; that would mitigate the problem.  Then I selected From and then Date Received, so maybe it won't sort on Unread.

Is there a way to delete the secondary sort?
