I recently had to reformat my computer due to problems, and things are no
longer the same. I used to have my posts always at the top so I could
always attend to them instead of searching for them deep down.

I used to click the column on the left titled "watch" and they would also
appear in red and at the top always always. What do I need to do now to have
it that way again?
Thanks

Do you have a message rule to mark messages from you as watched?

Click on the eyeglasses at the top and it will sort on that column. Click
it again and it will reverse the order.

Click in that column next to the message and it will be Watched. It should
turn red but won't always.

So what happens now when you click on the Watch column to the left of
a message item?

Did you also click on the Watch column's header row to sort by that
column? Each click on a header column toggles between ascending or
descending sort. Maybe you need to click on the column header once
more because you sorted in the wrong order.

It worked. Thanks
