I manage 15 email accounts with Thunderbird. I order my inboxes by date, newest at the top. Generally, this maintains across application restarts - Thunderbird remembers that I want my inbox to come up with the newest at the top. I have one account, which is a gmail account, that always comes up in reverse order (oldest at top) after I restart Thunderbird. It comes up with the newest at the bottom of the list, and also is already scrolled down to the bottom of the list (which is handy, considering...). I can't see what I am doing to influence this one account inbox to behave differently. Can anyone suggest something for me to look at?
