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.

Kevin,

RoundCube queries the support from the IMAP server using the "CAPABILITY" command. If you telnet to your imap port, you can check it yourself:

% telnet imap Trying ... Connected to . Escape character is '^]'.

• OK IMAP Server Ready

a CAPABILITY

• CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 AUTH=PLAIN NAMESPACE QUOTA SORT

a OK CAPABILITY completed If "SORT" is part of what is returned, then RoundCube knows it can use the "SORT" command to order the messages based on your selected columns.

I have had the problem with quotas in the past, where RoundCube's initial look for Quota support in IMAP failed, even though Quota support does exist. So I had to comment out the checks for the Quota support in order to force RC to just go ahead and use the Quota functions.

I am wondering if RC is doing a similar lookup in reference to sorting. I have logged in using Brett's RC 0.1 Beta 2 demo install. I logged into a demo account provided by "SKaero" on the RC forums When I use his demo email account, the sorting features are present in each column. However, I then logged out and logged back in using my own account on my own server and I do not receive any sorting options.

Where should I look to resolve this issue? Anyone have any insights?

Thanks in advance, Kevin L.
