I always check my email with my 5mx and sort the messages on data, this had always worked great till today.. I checket and downloaded my mail and I thought I lost it, But it was in my inbox only at the last place in-line (difficult to explain in English....) I thried everything like sorting on size, that did work ok, but when I sorted on data it whent straight down to the last place inline... Does ony one have a solution???
Tanx in advance.

I think you mean that you normally sort the messages in your "Inbox" by Date. If you tap the Date box in the headings above the messages, the messages will be sorted by date but it may be either with the oldest first or the newest first. If they are the wrong way round, tap the Date box again to reverse the order of sorting.

Thats the problem, I sort them on date but 2 messages with the date 4-11-02 are placed in the last place under the messages dated like 16-4-02. I tried your trick but it wouldn't help.....
(sorry for the bad spelling I have a wordblindness so (they call it dyslexie over here...))
But this solve my problem, any other tips and tricks??
Tnx:D

I suspect that the problem messages may have their date stamps in the US "Month|Day|Year" format instead of "Day|Month|Year" as used in the UK.

Consequently, the 4-11-02 messages are being treated as 11 April instead of 4 November and therefore appear prior to your 16 April messages. I don't know of any solution if this is indeed the problem.

I've besides my dutch acount also a us one and tried that trick, but my psion reads any date alright. Don't know why but it translates the us notation to dutch and visaversa
