I've just been reminded why I wasn't keen on Thunderbird. I can't set
it to view threads in descending order of date. It will sort of do
that, but next time I open it it shows individual messages in order of
date, which is messy.

But that works for me. I click on the part of the thread "column
header"
twice, and get my messages sorted by threads, newest on top. When I
return, the setting is still there, only that the threads are not open
(which they are when I switch to sorting by thread from another mode
which always shows each message). So each thread is represented by its
first message, which is a bit terse for some situations and I have to
open the thread if I've already read the first message and now want to
read the new ones "inside" the thread. That is one reason why I prefer
trn - more direct access to the new message in a thread I have already
started on. But reverse-sorting by thread as such works.

I've tried that, and it works while I keep Thunderbird open, but usually
the next time I open it, it's reverted to ascending order by message
date. Having said which I've opened Thunderbird this morning and it's
behaving perfectly.

Except I can't get it to block a particular sender and delete messages
from that sender, for instance someone wanting to sell me ugg boots. I've
tried creating a filter from the message but to no obvious effect.

Strange, I click on the "create filter from message" option and it works
fine. Not for posts that are already there of course, but for any new ones
from the same sender.

I recently got two UGG boot spams here in umra which is very unusual for
the Berlin server even to get one. I would guess therefore that the second
one had a slight variation in sender, but I CBA to go and check...

Outlook Express deletes everything from the blocked sender. I've opened
Thunderbird this morning and it's all over the place again.
