On Outlook Express, on the inbox page, left click on the word subject, the inbox sorts itself by subject, left click on from and the inbox sorts by author, and left click received and it's according to your preferred order of time. Three clicks, instant new order. I shift back and forth depending on how I want to delete, save or read. You won't miss new mail by going back to the order received. Try holding the shift button to highlight a whole block of messages (click), then holding the shift button, hit the delete button on the keyboard and you delete the item(s) highlighted permanently. The shift/delete is useful in deleting a message you might think contains a virus. It doesn't open the messages (unless you are using your preview pane) and deletes permanently without going to your deleted files where you have to clean it out again.
