Eudora User Manual Sorting Messages Within Mailboxes

Similarly, when you transfer messages to another mailbox, those messages appear at the bottom of the message summary list in that mailbox.

You can sort messages in a mailbox by status, priority, attachment, label, sender, date, size, server status, subject, and group by subject. You can sort these messages in either ascending or descending order one column at a time or by combining several columns in the sort.

Simple Sorting

You can access Eudora’s sort feature to perform a simple sort in three ways:

■By clicking the column header you want to sort. For example, if you click the Who column, senders of your messages are sorted in alphabetically order.

■By right-clicking anywhere on the column headings. The context menu appears for you to choose a sort criteria for that column. For example, if you choose the item to sort in descending order, the mailbox sorts from top to bottom.

■By choosing the Sort from the Edit menu. The Sort submenu appears for you to choose a column heading to sort.

Note. The normal sort order is ascending, for example, with the most current dates at the bottom of the list. If you hold down the Shift key and click the column header, the sorting becomes descending. You can mix ascending and descending sorts when sorting more than one column at a time.

Following is the context menu that appears when you right-click the Who column heading.

In each column heading, you can choose if that heading has no sort, is sorted in ascending order, or sorted in descending order. Also, you can group subjects together by choosing Group by Subject, which keeps messages with the same subject together all the time.

Messages (including replies) with the same subject, such as a work project are kept together in the mailbox regardless of whether you sort by Date, Sender, and so on. A checkmark next to the Group by Subject option in the context menu indicates that the option is active.

New messages that come into a sorted mailbox will automatically be placed in the correct sorted order. For example, if you have a mailbox sorted by date, and you want all of the messages to be grouped by subject, any new messages will be grouped with other messages containing the same subject in a chronological.

Note. You can also sort message in the Find Messages window when the Results panel is active.
