Pmail 4.9 INBOX messag sorting

Hi all my first post. I am attempting to get pmail to save the last state of the in-box between sessions.
Currently when I close and reopen pmail it automatically sorts the inbox urgent first by date then the non urgent by date.
How do I get the inbox to stay in the same state "unsorted" I left it?
Thanks
Mark

A sort of the new mail folder will stick between sessions with the exception of unread and urgent messages. Those will always be at the top whenever the new folder is opened, or refreshed.


For perspective as to why this is...
In your folder list you will see a folder named "Main Folder". Be default, Pegasus Mail sets this folder as your "Default Folder" where read messages automatically get moved to. This behavior can be overridden by the option "Allow read messages to stay in the new mail folder". Logically then, the New Mail folder is designed as the destination for messages as the arrive, listing them in the order of arrival with the ones marked urgent getting preferential treatment. As mentioned above, you can sort by Date/Time, and that sort will stick between sessions, but will only apply to unread, non-urgent messages.


Urgent messages that you don't consider urgent can be dealt with my turning off their 'is urgent' property. You can access message properties by selecting a message then hitting F12, or by right-clicking on a message and selecting the Message properties option.

One thing I recall, but not sure.
Think if you use X in top right, it doesn't save the session sort settings, but if you use the file exit option it does?
Haven't tested on latest versions, but think it has to do with windows defaults.


But would be a simple test.
