Major updates - testing required

[Pieter]

Hi Rodolfo,

I do have the same experience! Everything is fast, except for opening an 
email... I'm using Courier-imap.

I already know why. When an email is openend, Roundcube is searching for 
the previous and the next mail. (for the prev/next mail function). It 
does this by
downloading the complete mailfolder! (calling the _list_headers function 
with 'all') This way, server-side sorting does not help; it wil fetch 
the complete list anyhow.

I have replaced the function "message_index" in 
"program/include/rcube_imap.inc" with the following. It returns a 
correct result, and is very, very fast! There is a downside though. This 
just uses the default imap sorting, it does not take other sorting into 
account! So, when the message list was sorted on Subject for example, 
the prev/next takes you to the next message by date instead by subject. 
(What would a user expect in this case?)
  function message_index($mbox='', $sort_field='date', $sort_order='DESC')
    {
    $mailbox = $mbox ? $this->_mod_mailbox($mbox) : $this->mailbox;
    return array_reverse(iil_C_FetchUIDs($this->conn, $mailbox));
    }


After a little more coding, I've come to the following solution. It is a 
little slower as the solution above, but solves the problem of sorting 
discribed above. (This function is *not complete*!! When there is no 
server-side sorting available, is doesn't do anything!! Don't have time 
for that now...)

  function message_index($mbox='', $sort_field='date', $sort_order='DESC')
    {
    $mailbox = $mbox ? $this->_mod_mailbox($mbox) : $this->mailbox;
    if ($this->get_capability('sort') && ($msg_index = 
iil_C_Sort($this->conn, $mailbox, $sort_field)))
      {
      $a_message_index = iil_C_FetchHeaderIndex($this->conn, $mailbox, 
implode($msg_index, ','), 'UID');
      if ($sort_order == 'DESC')
        return array_reverse($a_message_index);
      else
        return $a_message_index;
      }
    }


I hope this helpes!
