Previous and next on email folders confuse me. I always think they should work by date, but they don't. They just go by whatever order the mail is listed in, and previous means higher on the page (thus usually later mail). Am I totally alone in this particular type of dyslexia?

I also have issues with this. Luckily, pine is sensible, and 'next' is later mail, and 'previous' is earlier.

I get hugely confused in my hotmail account, though. Which, of course, isn't much of an issue, since I only get spam there anyway.

At work I keep my messages in my email client sorted by date so next and previous make date related sense.

Yahoo mail, on the other hand, totally confuses me.

You're most definitely not alone!

That drives me nuts, too. Especially on the communities.msn.ca pages, where our pbem is hosted, since one can't change the sorting there.
