Option to sort mail by size and date

At the moment mail is sorted by date only, in descending order. It will improve productivity to be able to also sort mail by other fields (as can be done in the Notes client), in particular, sender and subject (in ascending and descending order).


This request will become "We are only going to do sort by Size and possibly Ascending and Descending date. Subject and Sender make no sense in Verse when you search on them and then sort the results by date or size and then filter by unread and attachment."

    Hi Tim

    Disappointed that you won't implement "sort by sender".

    While Verse 'search' is OK, the Notes client's "who" column header gives extra flexibility and in certain situations is more useful than search.

    The Notes client may be old fashioned, but in day to day functionality it gives users options which "just work" for them. Lack of this flexibility makes us reluctant to roll out Verse, despite the obvious admin advantages .

    As for "sort by size", - in our world nobody seems to use that. If only we could devise a reward system for users who deleted unnecessary attachments then our storage would be so much smaller!

    Hello,
    Since Verse is now the only option available instead of iNotes, the Verse client should at least offer the same sorting options:

    • by Size

    • by Sender

    • by Date

    • by Subject

    • ---
      These are actually the minimum requirements that an email client MUST offer and this should be implemented as soon as possible.

    Option to sort by size is essential, especially when you are limited by a quota !

    This is a delicate balancing act. We don't want to turn search into a replica of the Notes Client which is not that simple. Search should really be progressive in that you enter one search term and then gradually refine what you're looking for. So, I can see some increased granularity but not to the extent of the Notes Client.
