Thinking about this a bit more, it does make sense to add a basic header-ish field to the top of the horizontal message list - it now contains the select all checkbox and the link to change Sort.

I would gladly welcome a patch to add a 'sort' menu item when viewing in vertical layout mode. Patch attached. But what can we do to select all messages on vertical layout?

(another reason why the vertical layout is not a good solution IMHO). A lot of people like the vertical layout. Maybe because they have a 16:9 screen FWIW this is exactly why I use the vertical layout. or they are used to using Outlook vertical layout.

(another reason why the vertical layout is not a good solution IMHO). A lot of people like the vertical layout. Maybe because they have a 16:9 screen or they are used to using Outlook vertical layout. I disagree with the former. I understand the latter, but strictly as an argument for familiarity. e.g. The Outlook-like display is familiar to users so they like it. But just because users are familiar with it doesn't mean it is good UI. Sorting should either be done by an addition to the Other Actions Menu or by a right click context menu (although not entirely sure where; in the mailbox listing? added to the list of actions when right-clicking a message?) I think the best option is the first one. On our service we already do that for sorting even on horizontal layout (screenshot attached) I would gladly welcome a patch to add a 'sort' menu item when viewing in vertical layout mode.

There can't be a header for the mailbox listing in the vertical layout because it doesn't make sense Agreed. (another reason why the vertical layout is not a good solution IMHO).

msglistHeader is hidden on vertical layout so there isn't any way to sort or select all messages on vertical layout. I could contribute with a patch but I am not sure how do you want to fix this. Should I create some buttons on dimpAction bar to Sort and Select messages? Or should I create/adapt a msglistHeader for the vertical layout?
