How Do I Sort Email messages?

To sort Email messages in a folder, perform the following steps:

  1. Decide how you want your Email messages to be displayed.

    You can display the Email messages in the ascending or descending order. You can sort the Email messages in any of the following order:

    • By the date Received or Sent

    • By the sender name, displayed as From

    • By the Email message Size, Subject, or Priority

    • By the read or unread status, or flag status

    • By the presence of Attachment

  2. Select the required folder.

  3. In two-pane layout, tap any one of the following option that corresponds to your choice.

    In three-pane layout, any of the following option that corresponds to your choice can be selected from the drop-down list in the message listing toolbar and the selected option is displayed along with Up/Down arrow denoting ascending/descending order.
    • From: Displays Email messages alphabetically by the name of the sender. Tap From again to sort Email messages in the reverse alphabetical order.

    • Size: Sorts the Email messages by size in the ascending order. Tap Size again to sort the Email messages in the descending order.

    • Subject: Sorts Email messages alphabetically by each Email message subject text on the Subject line. Tap Subject again to sort Email messages in the reverse alphabetical order.

    • Read Status: Separates unread and read Email messages, followed by Email messages that you have forwarded, replied to, deleted (read or unread), or replied to and deleted.

    • Date: Sorts Email messages by date. The latest Email message appears first by default. Tap Received or Sent again to display the oldest Email messages first. The Date format setting that you select in the Options tab determines the format of the date.
