Are you sure?

This is from the documentation source, in the 'getting and sending email' chapter:

   <section id="usage-mail-listorder">
    <title>Sorting the Message List</title>
    <para>Evolution helps you work by letting you sort your e-mail. To sort by sender, subject, or date, click on the bars with those labels at the top of the message list. The direction of the arrow next to the label indicates the direction of the sort. Click again, to sort them in reverse order. For example, click Date to sort messages by date from oldest to newest. Click again, and Evolution sorts the list from newest to oldest. You can also right-click the message header bars to get a set of sorting options, and to add or remove columns from the message list. You can find detailed instructions on how to customize your message display columns in <link linkend="usage-mail-organize-columns">Sorting Mail with Column Headers</link>.</para>
    <para>To look at the complete headers for a message, click View &gt; Message Display &gt; Show Full Headers. To see all message data, click View &gt; Message Display &gt; Show E-Mail Source. </para>
    <para>You can also choose a threaded message view. Click View &gt; Threaded Message List to turn the threaded view on or off. When you select this option, Evolution groups the replies to a message with the original, so you can follow the thread of a conversation from one message to the next.</para>
