My All dates have been out of any sequence & all mixed up in my "sent" folder for a long time! Can I empty contents of 1,805 messages in Trash before deleting it & open a new folder to start over  ??? Thank you for your help! GiGi

Did you try clicking on "Date" at the top to sort by date? Or try using View|Sort By in the menu to arrange your messages?

Extremely simpler than trying to figure out the rhyme or reason for the 'mish mash' or attempting to find the most recent message sent in the 1,805 mix ??? Embarrassingly simplest solution!
