I want to sort my Unread Mail folder by Folder and within that by Recieved (oldest on top). I've found that by clicking the "In Folder" header, holding down Shift and clicking Received twice I can get the sort I want but if I leave that view (for example checking the calendar) and then return that the sort order has not kept things as I expect.

Looking in the View Settings > Sort it shows "In Folder (ascending), Received (ascending)" but that doesn't create the same view as using the shift button...

I have found the answer to this problem. In Advanced View settings (right click where the Arrange By is - just under the search bar - and select View settings...). From there select Sort... Sort items by "In Folder" Asc and Then by "Received" Asc -> OK Next select Group By... Untick Automatically group according to arrangement, from the Select available fields from drop down list select "Frequently-used fields". Then Group Items by "In Folder" Asc and Tick Show Field in view. OK that and now emails are sorted in folders with the items in received order for reading in order – Simon Martin Jul 26 '11 at 21:41
