Index of Subjects Hi Sally. In my experience the title bar sorting in Webmail trumps the sorting using the options menu. Try turning off sorting options in Options under Mailbox and Folder Display Options using the Undo changes button then go back to your inbox and try sorting by order received (the up and down triangles on the left of the title bar).
