Message sort by date not working

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I'm running Squirrelmail 1.4.8 on Fedora Core 5,
with Dovecot IMAP server.
All the packages above come from Fedora distribution.

Recently, I made major re-organisation of my several
IMAP (and older POP) folders, this means moving
a lot of messages from a folder into another.

So, the messages are now in the folders in random
order, not in regular older-has-been-there-first order.

Now, it very much looks to me that Squirrelmail's
"sort by date"- display option does not do what is
expected, but it would sort messages by some
message-id from IMAP server, that reflects the order
in which the messages were appended into the folder.

For example, a few last messages, when asked to sort
the newest on top, appear now in this order (dates only
copied, European date format dd.mm.yyyy):
28.2.2007
28.2.2007
13.1.2007
28.2.2007
...
...
27.2.2007
1.1.2007
2.1.2007

This is exactly the same order, that I get with Thunderbird
mail client if I ask to sort by message arrival order, which is
definetely a different thing from sorting by date, since IMAP
folders allow flexible moving of messages from a folder into
another.

Any ideas, how to get a real sorted-by-date display?


Regards,
Timo
