Steps to reproduce
Possibly optional:
- Add a new (gmail) account with a huge amount of mails
- Change the local folder size while it is still fetching
Expected behavior
The mails displaying the correct date and to be in the order of when the mail was delivered
Actual behavior
There are random mails from 2019 at the top, although the order I have defined is correct.
Mails that I received after setting the account up now appear at the top and above the ones from 2019.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the account setup on Android 14 with a Gmail account containing many messages, then change the local folder size while fetching is in progress. Compare the displayed dates and ordering with the configured sort order, focusing on messages from 2019 and newly fetched mail. Done means the list consistently reflects the selected order after synchronization completes.
