In Thunderbird, when I get to the mail list in my inbox, I got some messages
which stay at the top of the mail list. Very strange behaviour. I want my mail
sorted by date with the newest at the top, but there are about 15 mails which
stay at the top, even if they were received about one month ago. I cannot get
the to be sorted properly.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Have a lot of mails in an Inbox (~200) and try to sort the by date, with the
newest at the top.

Actual Results:  
Some mails older than 2 months stay at the top of the list.

Expected Results:  
All mails should have been sorted correctly.

works for me.

look at the date of those messages...2004! so of course we always think they are
the newest messages.
