What is "man top"? And are there specific apache processes that I
should ask  the web host's tech support to check, or direct them to
check for certain things?

I still have the following settings in my own config:
Use server-side sorting Yes
Use server-side thread sorting  Yes

And when I click "IMAP server information" in "Options", it returns this:

Server Capability response:
* CAPABILITY IMAP4REV1 LITERAL+ IDLE NAMESPACE MAILBOX-REFERRALS
BINARY UNSELECT SCAN SORT THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT
MULTIAPPEND SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS AUTH=LOGIN

Does that indicate that sorting is still supported? Or, is there a
test I can enter in that  "IMAP server information" screen to check?

Is there any way I can test this, or do I need to contact the web
host's tech support?

Will the web host's tech support know what that means when I make that
request? Should I ask them to check for anything in particular?

Can I check if they use imapproxy, or must I ask them?

One further piece of information that might help someone to solve this
puzzle: when I use the shared SquirrelMail installation that comes as
part of cPanel, it seems somewhat faster than my own installation and
doesn't get the "page not found" errors. That shared installation is
also 1.4.6, but is just the basic install with no extra plugins. My
own installation has many plugins, and my config options are somewhat
different.

Thanks for your help Tomas!
