if this has to do with the day changing, I think the bug summary should say so for clarity.

Comment 5

[Yuri]

One problem is because of the day change, another problem is duplication of "Old Mail".
This may have been triggered by the date change, but looks like the problem is deeper than just that.
This is reflected in the subject.

With regards to the 2nd attachment; sorting is a bit slow. I tried with a small count of messages (in my Thunderbird). Once I re-sort, I briefly see "Old Mail" appearing in top and bottom of the list. Then after that, I get it only in top of the list and "Today" in bottom of the list. You have more than 1,000 messages and this causes slowness and that is why you see it duplicated it briefly.
