Yes, sort is broken. A known problem slated to be fixed in the 2.1.x series. The
current sort functionality is strictly aimed at the command profile used by
squirrelmail. Other clients are *not* supported for sort. Sorry about that. That
patch should never have made it into cvs-head. My fault entirely.
SORT is now removed from the CAPABILITIES string.

IMAP sort is treated completely wrong.
The arguments are NOT
["charset" charset-atom] search...
but actually:
program-list charset-atom search...
Thusly, I should be able to say:
. SORT (DATE REVERSE SUBJECT) US-ASCII ALL NOT DELETED
but this doesn't work. See
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-imapext-sort-17.txt
for the current version of the specification for the IMAP SORT
extension.
Worse still, if I actually go ahead and:
. SORT CHARSET US-ASCII ALL NOT DELETED
I get garbage:
* SORT 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1

1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
This is completely wrong. If "SORT" isn't supported, it MUST not be
announced when one says ". CAPABILITY"
Please remove it from CAPABILITY until this is fixed.
