Phil, assuming your wish is to be able to sort by brand Mozilla 
Thunderbird has two dialog boxes at the top just above the list of 
emails. One is labeled VIEW with plenty of things to view by and the 
other is a search field and will find anything you put there and show 
only the emails that have that word in the subject or sender. Using 
these tools it is easy to search for, say, RCA so you then see only 
those with RCA in the subject line then use the VIEW and "save search as 
folder". I don't know if OE has anything like this or not, I haven't 
used OE since I was introduced to Thunderbird a few months ago.
