Seldom get messages in threads in my inbox (1 inbound + response or one outbound+response), so no threaded view. 

The sorting is all over the place. What I want is first sorted on status (unread at the top), then by date with most recent at the top. 

The sorting by date doesn't seem to want to work - some emails from yesterday are near the top and some are 3/4 way down the list. 

There may be something with the status - maybe Evolution has a few hidden statuses that other email programs don't, meaning evolution can't sort by unread?
