when messages are downloaded to the inbox they appear as oldest message first. Can I change this to have the messages appear as newest messages by date first

Hello

To sort mail by the order it was received in Mozilla Thunderbird:

  • Open the desired folder in Mozilla Thunderbird.
  • Select View | Sort by | Order Received from the menu.
    • Using View | Sort by | Ascending and View | Sort by | Descending you can reverse the order.

Let us know how this works for you
