Sort by Online Status

IS there a way to make Entourage 2004 (mail inbox) sort by the Online
Status? Seems like every other column (attachment etc) can be clicked and
sorted accordingly. However when I click on the Online Status icon (and
Links) it neither selects nor sorts.

Regards

Yes, this is maddening. You also can't find on online status (e.g. find
all messages with a part still left on the server), and scripting gives
you no access to this property of a message. It's just a huge
functionality hole. m.

Only in the UI - but it does work fine via script.


set theMsg to item 1 of (get current messages)
get online status of theMsg
--> partially downloaded

get every message of folder "Test" whose online status is (partially
downloaded)
--> {incoming message id 689091 of application "Microsoft Entourage"}



One thing to look out for is that messages you consider 'fully downloaded'
will not appear with that value if they're POP messages no longer on the
server. They will be 'not on server'. I.e. if the containing folder has
nothing but such messages then

get every message of folder "Test" whose online status is (fully
downloaded)
--> {}

but

get every message of folder "Test" whose online status is (not on
server)
--> {...every message...}
