Keep in mind that new mail is not a real folder like the others. It is just a visual representation of the *.cnm files when doing pop3 or local delivery. The newly arrived messages are always added to the top and any with urgent marked on top of the others also. Once you resort or close and open new mail they are then sorted. The new mail in an IMAP mounted box depens on the inbox order on the server. Real folders, *.pmm and *pmi pairs are sorted according to preferences and those are sticky and when closed and opened remain the same as they were.

Hello,

I am using Pegasus Mail 4.52 and the email in my inbox is sorted by date in reverse order. I can change this, to sort by subject for instance, but it always returns to sorting by date in reverse order when I close the program and open it again. I would like my sort preferences to remain and not go back to this 'default' every time I execute the program. I have had Pegasus Mail installed for some time now and it is only during the last few days this problem has appeared.

How many messages are kept in your new mail folder? Is the save desktop state option on Tools => Options => Basic settings enabled? What happens if you change the sort order and immediately close and reopen Pegasus Mail?

Hello,

I've had problems with sort order on New Mail and would like to make an observation. 

My New Mail sort order sometimes gets stuck, and I found I can override it by setting it at the "My Mailbox" level, then typing CTRL-W, then Exit.  This won't help if you want to tailor each folder's sort separately, but it does do the trick.  I've run Pegasus mail 4.6.2 on Vista and Windows-7.
