Yes, there is that info on the grey bar with the DOB. Jon and I were referring only to the list of messages in the inbox. Charts have DOBs. Messages do not.

They are orignally sorted by time sent. But, as with anything, e.g. Excel, the advantage of columns is you can click on them and sort via that column. It would be nice to sort by last name only and not first initial. Also the area in the messages inbox is very jarbled and not easily viewed. Look at Outlook. Every column is very neat and only contains one piece of information, each of which can be sorted by. Take a look at From, Subject, Received, Category, Flags. With one click you get every email from Bert, etc. Click on flags and all flagged emailed pop up. Click on categories and all red, orange, blue categories pop up. Click on Received, and you are right back to have emails sorted by date arrived.

I don't have a lot of things in my inbox but some doctors have 100. They may want to find all Smith, J. so clicking on Name would bring all the names up by last name, etc.

Also, there is no way to flag a message after it is sent. You can send with a color, but you can't color after. It would be nice to have a flag system at the right.
