I totally agree, i have had this discussion with Alec before when I
suggested to use a SORT(ARRIVAL). But Alec then had a convincing
argument why it couldnt be used. Possibly this was waiting for the
implemention of index_sort? In which case maybe now it can be used?

"arrival sort" is better than implemented "index sort", but:

• I'm not really sure if "SORT(ARRIVAL)" is faster than "SORT(DATE)" on

every IMAP server implementation,

• "arrival sort" will be very slow on servers without SORT capability

(as it was before index_sort implementation).

I really don't know what "arrival sort" has in common with threading.
