It is simply pretty easy to &#8220;mess up&#8221; your INBOX by clicking on the little (by default) diamond shaped &#8220;sort marker&#8221; icons in the column headers. If you click on &#8211; for example &#8211; the &#8220;From&#8221; sort marker once, Webmail will promptly sort all your mails by the sender&#8217;s name. Pretty cool actually: Mails from &#8220;Anna&#8221; are the first ones in the list now. If you click again, it will sort them backwards, and mails from &#8220;Zorro&#8221; will appear on the top. If you click yet again, everything should go back to normal. The same is true for &#8220;Subject&#8221; and &#8220;Date&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fixing things:<\/strong><br \/>\nIn the default setting, all sort markers look like a little diamond symbol (?). If you change how your mails should be sorted (by mistake), one of them will look like an &#8220;up arrow&#8221; (?) or &#8220;down arrow&#8221; (?) symbol. Since this is probably not what you want (at least not permanently), just click on the arrow symbol until it turns back into a diamond, and everything should go back to normal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Screenshots:<\/strong><br \/>\nHave a look at the following screenshots. They will hopefully make things easier to understand.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_416\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-416\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/userpage.fu-berlin.de\/~rober\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Webmail-INBOX-default.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-416 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/userpage.fu-berlin.de\/~rober\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Webmail-INBOX-default-1024x363.png\" alt=\"Screenshot: ZEDAT Webmail INBOX with defaults (no special sorting)\" width=\"750\" height=\"266\" srcset=\"https:\/\/userpage.fu-berlin.de\/~rober\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Webmail-INBOX-default-1024x363.png 1024w, https:\/\/userpage.fu-berlin.de\/~rober\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Webmail-INBOX-default-300x106.png 300w, https:\/\/userpage.fu-berlin.de\/~rober\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Webmail-INBOX-default-768x272.png 768w, https:\/\/userpage.fu-berlin.de\/~rober\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Webmail-INBOX-default-1536x544.png 1536w, https:\/\/userpage.fu-berlin.de\/~rober\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Webmail-INBOX-default-1568x555.png 1568w, https:\/\/userpage.fu-berlin.de\/~rober\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Webmail-INBOX-default.png 1587w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-416\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Webmail INBOX default (this is probably what you want)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_421\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-421\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/userpage.fu-berlin.de\/~rober\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Webmail-INBOX-sorted-by-from-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-421 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/userpage.fu-berlin.de\/~rober\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Webmail-INBOX-sorted-by-from-1-1024x254.png\" alt=\"Screenshot: ZEDAT Webmail INBOX sorted by sender (not good)\" width=\"750\" height=\"186\" srcset=\"https:\/\/userpage.fu-berlin.de\/~rober\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Webmail-INBOX-sorted-by-from-1-1024x254.png 1024w, https:\/\/userpage.fu-berlin.de\/~rober\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Webmail-INBOX-sorted-by-from-1-300x74.png 300w, https:\/\/userpage.fu-berlin.de\/~rober\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Webmail-INBOX-sorted-by-from-1-768x190.png 768w, https:\/\/userpage.fu-berlin.de\/~rober\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Webmail-INBOX-sorted-by-from-1.png 1125w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-421\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Webmail INBOX sorted by sender (From)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_418\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-418\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/userpage.fu-berlin.de\/~rober\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Wemail-INBOX-by-subject.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-418 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/userpage.fu-berlin.de\/~rober\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Wemail-INBOX-by-subject-1024x313.png\" alt=\"Screenshot: ZEDAT Webmail INBOX sorted by subject (not good)\" width=\"750\" height=\"229\" srcset=\"https:\/\/userpage.fu-berlin.de\/~rober\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Wemail-INBOX-by-subject-1024x313.png 1024w, https:\/\/userpage.fu-berlin.de\/~rober\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Wemail-INBOX-by-subject-300x92.png 300w, https:\/\/userpage.fu-berlin.de\/~rober\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Wemail-INBOX-by-subject-768x235.png 768w, https:\/\/userpage.fu-berlin.de\/~rober\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Wemail-INBOX-by-subject-1536x469.png 1536w, https:\/\/userpage.fu-berlin.de\/~rober\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Wemail-INBOX-by-subject-1568x479.png 1568w, https:\/\/userpage.fu-berlin.de\/~rober\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Wemail-INBOX-by-subject.png 1613w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-418\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Webmail INBOX sorted by subject<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Still in trouble?<\/strong><br \/>\nIf this was <strong>not<\/strong> your (only) problem, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zedat.fu-berlin.de\/Info-Service-IT\">contact ZEDAT support staff<\/a> for help.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is everything lost?
