In Thunderbird, I have my messages sorted by date, in descending order. The newest message is on top. That is probably the most common setup.

Now my problem: Very often, when I want to click on the newest email (first from top), it happens I click on the "From" header above, which causes the messages to be re-arranged and sorted according to "From" field. This drives me crazy.

Is it possible to "freeze" the headers (i.e. "From", "Subject", "Date", ..) and the sorting order ?

I only ever want to sort by date. If I click on "From" by mistake, I would like nothing to happen.

Is this possible ?

I am using Icedove (Thunderbird) 24.8.1 on Debian Wheezy

Try:

No Message Pane Sort

I haven't tried it and it says 2011 in the documentation so YMMV.

I have been frustrated by this many times, but I don't actually want to turn it off because once in awhile changing the sort order helps me find things.
