Vista Microsoft Mail

My Microsoft Mail in Vista moves received and sent emails in a very odd manner. Rather than keep emails sorted strictly by date received and/or sent, the emails are moved. For example, if I reply to an email received and it had a subject line, a return email may be buried deep based on who sent the original and the subject. This makes finding the emails very difficult. I would like all emails received and sent to be sorted based on date received and/or sent, similar to Outlook. Any ideas how to fix this problem?

at the top of your columns you have the headers like, From, Subject, Received,,,, just click on the word RECEIVED and it will sort them ascending or descending,, a little arrow to the right of the word will tell you which way, each click is like a flick of a switch.

Each header title works the same way so you can sort email how ever you want. Older versions worked the same way too.

Hi, please open your Windows Mail / click Inbox / click View / Sort by / Received

Does that work ?

Inconsistent results. The problem is sorting of multiple reply emails. For example, if I initiate an email to someone with a subject and then person replies, then I reply again, then the other person also replies a second time. I now have two sent and two received, all with the same subject. The second reply I receive is moved to become a sub-email of the initial reply I received. The only reason I even have a clue it may be there is because a "+" is added next to the initial reply I received. If I click that "+" then the second reply is displayed.

Regular sorting by heading doesn't work for replies.

OK. Open Windows Mail > View > UN-check View by Conversation.

All messages will be displayed on their own.
Is that what you meant ?

The solution to uncheck "Group Messages by Conversation" under "Current View" appears to have worked.

thanks a thousand times!
