Well, I should not have used the 'time' word. The alpine documentation states about 'Arrival' sorting: " The Arrival sort option arranges messages in the MESSAGE INDEX in the order that they exist in the folder. This is usually the same as the order in which they arrived. This option is comparable to not sorting the messages at all. " It is the same (non-)ordering available in Mozilla mail clients, with the 'Order Received' option. -- Nicolas
