        Hi,
too vague, please be more specific. I have no issues with sorting [1], 
and search folders work for me too, though I do not use them that 
often these days.

You mention it for the third time in the mailing list, but the request 
from the dedicated thread for it is still on going - get the 
backtrace, then anything can be taken out of it. Without backtrace 
it's all just a guessing.

I agree, but I can sort by date (I do all the time), threaded or not, I
can enter my junk folder, thus either you reached some "corner case" 
or something broke on your machine/in the underlying data. I suppose 
this also works for the other wast majority of evolution users, 
otherwise there would be a demand to fix it, whatever it is.

        Bye,
        Milan
