Hi Ginny, This should be an easy one. From the inbox On the view menu just arrow down to the sort by sub menu and check received by pressing enter on that choice. Then go back to the sort by menu and make sure descending is also checked. ----- Original Message ----- From: "V Nork" <ginisd@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <real-eyes@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2008 12:32 AM Subject: [real-eyes] Bizarre about my Outlook Express Dear Group, It was unnerving tonight to open my Outlook Express and see the e mails in my folders weirdly messed up, for no reason I can think of. First,, my in box chimed when I opened the program tonight, but I had trouble finding the message, until I realized the new messages were coming in at the bottom of the list view, instead of the top. Also, the E mails in my saved messages folder seem randomly shuffled, with dates all mixed up. It seems some of my saved messages are misssing, but I can't be sure. I did have someone else at the keyboard helping me with my E mail tonight, since I have had some new problems recently with not receiving certain E mails. We didn't make much progress, and maybe the wrong key was pressed accidentally. Anyway, if anyone can advise me just how to reestablish a descending order of messages by date, it would be encouraging and a start.
