Searching is NOT sorting. Period. I don’t want to ‘find’ a particular email/sender… I want ALL email sorted by sender so I can view ALL email in alphabetical order. I want ALL emails on a given subject, then sort them by date, or sender, with ALL senders in the sort…etc…
What? I don’t want to find senders, I want to sort senders.
This is like if you asked somebody what some healthy food is to help you lose weight, and all they kept saying was that you had to exercise more.
Yeah, you would lose weight, but that isn’t what you were asking for!
Searching is not sorting. Filtering is not sorting. Sorting is sorting.
