Using the different message-list views in FocalScope
FocalScope offers users a number of different ways to sort and view messages in FocalScope. This article details the major messages-list views and how to switch between them.
Prerequisites
Explanation
The first view type is [By Thread]. This view will display messages as threads. Each thread has a topic message and subsequent sent / received messages in the conversation are displayed under the topic. This view is ideal for following long back-and-forth email conversations.

The second view type is [By Date]. This view will display messages sorted according to the date they were sent / received.

The third view type is [Plain]. This view will display messages as you normally would see emails displayed in generic email clients. There will be no threaded display for tickets and no special sorting / filtering applied to the messages list.

The fourth view type is [Unread]. This view will display only those messages that you have not yet read. Please note, for shared folders this view displays messages based on the individual agent's read / unread message status, not that of the group.

The fifth view type is [Unassigned]. This view will display all messages that have not yet been assigned to an agent.
You can also narrow down the messages-list view to only display tickets that are in the open, on hold, closed, or deleted Ticket State by clicking on the Ticket State tabs (highlighted in blue). The [Everything] tab will collectively display all messages from the open, on hold, and closed Ticket States.
