Wish: sorting option

Now that I'm able to sync my Gmail (using POP settings), i've encountered a new problem: As I use Gmail as an archive, it holds ten years of mail. MWM does not have a sorting option and displays eldest mail first. Result: I need to scroll down, through thousands of mails to reach the latest, as soon as I include Gmail(POP) in MWM... :facepalm

I realize that this isn't excactly "normal use" with POPmail, (then again: what's Normal"?? :ninja :devil) but I fear that more people will encounter this problem as soon as IMAP is supported somewhere in the near future.

So: IMHO, a sorting-by-date option in MWM would "come in very nicely", surely before implementing IMAP.. :bow

It should display the most recent mail. Have you thought about using the 'recent' command for gmail? http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answ ... swer=47948

Ahhh thx for your fast reply.. that works. I wasn't aware of that possibility! :bow

Still: I think an option to influence the way in which MWM sorts/displays could come in handy (albeit less urgent than I thought it was).. :)

Yes, sure. There's plenty of things we'll want to add, just keen to get a finished basic version out first :)
