Can't reproduce with 2.0.0.12 or trunk 3.0a1pre (2008040204) with IMAP account at least.

Reopening. I can't test this at the moment, but comment 0 clearly states POP 3 Headers. You can't close this on the basis of an IMAP test.

Hello Ludovic,

the you've posted doesn't work, so I've tried with the most current version 2.0.0.22. The behaviour is exactly the same:

1. I create a POP3 account
2. Download the current messages
3. Then sort the messages by Date column descending
4. Menu View -> Sort by -> Grouped by Sort G
5. Then I sent a test message from another account
6. when new message arrives, it looks ok, but after I download body, the group header changes from "Today" to "Old mail"

The issue has low severity for me, I've just tried to participate in development ... :-)

thx,
Ferenc

I meant http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/nightly/latest-comm-1.9.1/  :-) sorry might already been fixed - that's why I'm asking.

I cannot test it because on this version I cannot view any messages in POP3 mode. It is maybe a different bug.

Make sure it's not a firewall issue (see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls)

It seems that it works on Win XP, but doesn't work on Vista.

The original bug is fixed.

Thank you.
