GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 300159
Threads should be sorted using the date of the *newest* message.

Currently, if a new mail arrives in an old thread, and message threading is activated, the message may land far up in the message list. Better would be to move the whole thread down, sorting by the date of the new message. Gmail does precisely this, and I think the other behaviour is wholly strange. I have no use for the thread in its original location when a new message arrives. /Mikael
