Walter, The wrong button you clicked on was a column header at the top of your list of e-mails. Go over to the "Received" heading and click on that. It will list all e-mails by date/time received. If it is in the wrong order (oldest at bottom), click on the "received" heading again and it will reverse the order. Probably the wrong button you pushed was to click on the "subject" heading. But that sorting feature can be very useful in finding "stuff". Let's say you want to quickly find all e-mail from one certain person. Highlight an e-mail from that certain person. Now go to the top and click on "From". The sort will group all e-mails from that person together (and all others as well). To go back to normal sorting, click on the 'received" column to get everything back in date/time order.

The inbox lists the number of new messages, but I have to look for them? What's wrong? Walter
