How to sort Thunderbird by message count?

1

I am trying to sort the messages in my inbox by the number of messages from / to email address.

After having sorted by Sort by -> From and Grouped By Sort and then displaying the Total column, I am unable to sort by the Total while keeping the sort grouping intact.

How can I sort the messages in my inbox by message count in Thunderbird?

@amiregelz, thanks for the screenshot. The count 1,4,3,93,42,29 is showing for me too. But how do I sort that to get 1,3,4,29,42,93? – Rajasankar – 2012-09-26T13:26:29.700

I searched for a solution too, but couldn't find anything. – amiregelz – 2012-09-26T15:29:35.987

As it is not possible to sort the count in Thunderbird, I used python mail module to sort. My code is below

import email,collections
mboxfile = 'C:/INBOX'
for em in mailbox.mbox(mboxfile):
    mailids.append(em['From'])
Counter(mailids)

This has given what I expected. This can be used for To,Cc,Bcc fields too.
