for large imap folders when the imap server supports sorting
There were several posts that this change works well, but no mention
of what IMAP server software was used in those tests.
Courier - Web site [1] says "IMAP extensions that implement server-
side sorting."
Cyrus - The Wiki [2] indicates it supports "IMAP SORT and THREAD
Extension"
Dovecot - Home page [3] says "Supports multiple commonly used IMAP
extensions, including SORT, THREAD and IDLE."
Those are the commonly used servers in my experience, are people
using other software, and does that software support sorting ?
There is this list of servers that support IMAP :
