Your post reminds me of a discovery I made a few weeks ago that BLEW MY MIND: You can not sort messages in Gmail. I'm betting that reading that statement just caused a bunch of people to say "Really?" and go check, but it's for real. In several years of using Gmail, I never felt the need. Search always found what I wanted. I mentioned this to some people in my office and they were similarly stunned that they never noticed. One curmudgeonly former Outlook jockey said that he's missed that feature forever. shrug. When I used to use Outlook on an Exchange server, search frequently didn't find messages that I already had open! They were just missing from the index, word stemming didn't work, or one of many other problems. Also, I used to hit my storage quota and have to sort by size to delete offending large attachments. Never have any of those problems with Gmail, so why would I need sort?
