Sorting messages by priority and colouring them red

Yes, I found that thread already. That was how I found out about the trick of moving the message, changing the properties and moving it back. But the overall bottom line on that thread (which is over 4 years old) was that there was no way to do this in Pegasus Email. Just wondered if anything had moved on, or I am just missing something stupid.

This really is getting to me. I am going to have to abandon Pegasus email because this annoys me so much. I am using IMAP. Is there a setting somewhere that will let me ignore the priority of an email in the sort order of a mailbox?

No other email client that I have used insists on placing the "priority" emails at the top of a mailbox or colouring them any specific colour. I have some people I work with who *always* mark some messages as priority messages, and I can't make them stop. These emails can't be shuffled off to another mailbox as that would mangle the threads and conversations, and the hassle of moving these emails to a local folder, changing the properties, purging the IMAP folder on the server, and then moving the message back again is a real pain. I *cannot* accept that there is no way to sort the mailboxes so that it ignores the priority attribute of a message - it worked fine in Eudora, it works in Thunderbird, Mulberry and several others. Why is there an insistence that priority emails must be at the top of my mailbox? Just because somebody sent me an email as "important" and "priority" does not necessarily make that email important or a high priority for me. PLEASE allow us to sort the emails how we need to see them.
