Kevin,

The "CAPABILITY" command happens as part of the initial IMAP server connection (rcube_imap::connect(), iil_Connect()). The check for "SORT" happens when doing the "List Headers" command (rcube_imap::_list_headers(), rcube_imap::get_capability()).

Eric,

That is what I suspected was going on. For some reason, my IMAP service returns no support flags when you check the CAPABILITY of the service. However, I know that QUOTA and SORT are both enabled on this server. I had to hardcode the QUOTA checks in RoundCube to comment out the actual capability search.

Any idea where in the code that RoundCube does this check for SORT capability?

Thanks,

Kevin L.
