Hello there!
I've been having the same problem since version 1.0...
My OS is Windows XP Pro, and everything works fine with all the Mozilla Software
except this "stupid" thing... You'll see I've my e-Mails Accounts Separately,
each one with it's own Inbox, and all... the thing is that every Inbox I have
it's sorted by Date + Descending + Grouped by Sort G and works fine excepts for
my main e-mail Inbox, you will find there for example on "Today" mail group all
the ones that arrived today with no problem, but on "Yesterday"'s group, you
will find the ones from yesterday and even some of the day before... and a
little something... Could be possible to have them grouped in more "G's"?
Something like "Today", "Yesterday", Two Days Ago, Three Days Ago, One Week Ago,
Two Weeks.... and on...?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to the Inbox, or any other folder with e-Mails
2. Go to the View menu
3. Go to Sort by -> Date
4. Go to the View menu
5. Go to Sort by -> Descending
6. Go to the View menu
7. Go to Sort by -> Grouped By Sort G

Actual Results:  
I see in the "Yesterday" group, the mails from yesterday and some from the day
before that.

Expected Results:  
I should have my e-Mails well classified on "Today", "Yesterday" and on...
And would LOVE to have more than those groups, something like:
Today, Yesterday, Two Days Ago, Three Days Ago, Last Week, Two Weeks, Last
Month, Old Mail... or if it could be customizable?
