Sorting mails in an Indian hill-station (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

simla

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'an indian hill-station' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'sorting mails' is the wordplay.
'sorting' is an anagram indicator.
'mails' is an anagram of 'SIMLA'.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for simla that I've seen before include "Very distressed" , "Summer capital of the British Raj in India" , "Indian city" , "Hill station" , "Former summer capital of British India" .)
