I’m embarrassed to say I’ve just discovered that Thunderbird can display emails by day received i.e. Today, Yesterday , Last Week etc. I stumbled across this only by accident and had to ask a neighbor who kindly new how to setup. It’s certainly not a default view as I’ve never seen it on a fresh install. In case I’m not the only one, first simply select the sort view first then ‘group by sort’ . Image below:

Don’t be embarrassed. There’s always something new to learn. I know that Outlook 2003 has this same option – grouping emails by date sent. It’s quite useful. Thanks for sharing.

I often learn new things just by watching how people use software I’ve used for years.

Thanks! I used outlook for 3 years and am using thunderbird at my new job, so this is a very helpful tip. I’m also trying to figure out how to add the day in front of the date ie Friday, 3/19/09 instead of just 3/19/09.

Thanx Alan. I found it once by accident and liked it a lot. Then it also disappeared by accident. Thanks to your post I found it again.
If you receive lots of emails every day it certainly makes it easier to keep track of all your mails.
