I just looked at what KMail does. It has both a Date column (for date of
first message in thread) and Most Recent Date column (for date of most
recent message in thread). Perhaps that's the way to go?
Sorting by anything but the default order (i.e. index_sort=true) is
incredibly slow with 30,000 or so messages.
