When sorting by sender (from) field, on Imap folders, the secondary sort used to be by date (which is really needed), but it no longer does since updating to this version :-(  Can't discern any logic to the sort now, so it seems useless.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. click into an Imap folder
2. click the 'from' column in order to sort by it (goal of finding certain message by that sender)
3. scroll through and try to figure out the order those messages are in per sender. They are not by date, so... can't find the message being looked for.
Actual Results:  
Self explanatory

Expected Results:  
To be able to browse messages by particular sender, in chronology of reciept.
