Viewing and Sorting
Viewing options are changed while in your Inbox. Select the View drop-down menu from the toolbar at the top of the main viewing pane.
By Conversation vs. By Message

By selecting By Conversation you will see every message in that particular conversation, including sent emails, drafts, forwarded, and related messages.
When you select this option you will be able to choose in what order you would like message to expand (from old to new or new to old).

If you click on it, it will expand the conversation with all related/included messages highlighted.

From the View selection on the tool bar, you can change the preview pane to display on the right hand side, below the Inbox message list, or not at all.
Sorting
To sort your emails by a certain criteria you simply need to click on the title heading (such as received date, subject, folder, size, etc.) To remove a certain criteria, right click on the title bar and select or de-select the criteria you wish to display.
