Forwarding from a downstream bug report: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=248791 Description of problem: Current rawhide evolution is reordering threads as new emails come in. If thread A started before thread B, and thread A gets a new email on it, evolution will move all of thread A before thread B. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): [jwboyer@vader ~]$ rpm -q evolution evolution-2.11.5-2.fc8 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select threaded view, sorted by date 2. Get some email on different threads 3. Actual results: The threads are reordered Expected results: New email comes into the thread but it remains in the correct location Additional info: I'm slowly going insane with this. If there's a way to turn it off, tell me and I'll be much happier
Created attachment 97637 [details] [review] proposed evo patch for evolution; as I discussed it with srag, this code adds new hidden option '/apps/evolution/mail/display/thread_latest' to enable/disable sorting of threads by latest message in that thread. I noticed that if installation of the scheme fail, then this will automatically fall back into old style sorting (before 2007-05-17).
