Current issue: mail_sort works as expected, consistently, with one

nothing has worked, so I'm curious if there are known issues with this.
I sympathize with your frustration. Nonetheless, the searching capability
of mail_sort() works. The problem is either in your program or possibly
in your IMAP server.
Follow-on question: When mail_sort or mail_thread is called with a search
program that may narrow the number of messages, is there a way to tell "at
a glance" from the returns of those calls how many messages met the search
criteria?
From what I can tell it seems to be down to the app to walk the results and
make a count. Currently (naming the unsigned long * return of mail_sort
"sort_result" for this example), I'm using this:
for (i = 0; sort_result[i] > 0; i++)
as for all messages that did not match the search_pgm, there is a zero
entry at the end of the sorted array. Is this bad and wrong, or is there a
better way to do this?
