Add sort by "From" email to the "New" mail folder when using the "use New/Old style" mail layout. Sort by "From" works for spam folder, and all other folders but not "New" (or "Old", which I don't really need sorting for but other people may).

I get over 200 email a day and for over a year have been asking for the feature, BUT on deaf ears. --- MY WORK AROUND: To get around this I (1) select all mail in the New mail folder; (2) move them to a new / empty folder (e.g., "Temp New Mail"; (3) I sort by email address in the new folder, and delete groups of email not important; and (4) I move the remaining emails back into the New mail folder where I work them. This works but is prone to error (I recently had 800+ new emails after being on vacation 3 days, and after selecting all of them I inadvertently "Mark Read", which put all of them (unbolded) into the old mail folder. What a mess trying to identify the real unread ones!!!

I used the 'Search for From/To' to select all emails from, for example, 'Jim'. Sure enough they appeared, seperated from 'New Mail'.

There were 999+ messages from Jim.

They were to be moved to 'Jim's Folder'.

AOL said; 'Only the first 1000 messages would be moved'

OK, Fair enough, move them please.

AOL Reports; '1000 messages moved to Jim, UNDO?'

I look in Jim's folder, to find that nothing has changed, or 11 have been moved or one has been moved.

Please fix it, keep it fixed, wasted a lot of time moving stuff to 'Folders' that don't get moved.

Thank you.

Your AOL anywhere has a bug. Yesterday when I was trying to clean up my mails. I used a search of "HISTORY" to clear out a group of emails. I pulled out 900+ emails. I don't know why so many but realized that some emails were not meant to be deleted. So I went through the entire list of 900+ and uncheck all the ones I didnot want to delete before I deleted the emails. I usually then go to RECENTLY DELETED folder and permanently deleted some so when I do search again, it will not show up. The reason is if I search again, the DELETED emails can show up. But then to my horror, it also deleted all my emails in my IN BOX. I called online support chat and asked them if I can get my IN BOX emails that disappeared. Well Daisy (I believed that was her name) told me the email recovery will recover all emails in the last 7 days and it will take up to 24 h ours. Somehow it came back pretty quick but now I got to clear my emails again. When I was deleting the emails the second time, same steps, search via a KEYWORD pulled up a long list of targeted emails and I carefully unselect those emails I wanted to keep and hit DELETE. Then it happened AGAIN. All my emails in the IN BOX disappeared! This time because I was watching carefully, I didnot do my usual to DELETE all emails from the RECENTLY DELETED folder. To my surprise, the emails inside the RECENTLY DELETED folder were not the ones I selected to delete but all the emails from my IN BOX. So I am not reporting this as a bug report. I do not nee emails to be recovered. I recovered those emails I wanted to keep back to my IN BOX. But I need you to file this incident report so it will not happen again. I can recreate this problem so I know it is a BUG:
