IIRC, the current version of Binc has a delay when deleting messages because of the way maildir works. I think Andreas (the author) has a solution to this, but it's not implemented. > Also, accessing the IMAP with Squirrelmail is a fairly slow proposition > - even when done on the little intranet here (100Mbit).

Binc does not support the SORT extension yet (or any other extension), but most of this code has been written already (by me). I know that Andreas is redesigning some parts of Binc now, and my goal is to update and finish the extension when Binc is stable again. This should speed up Squirrelmail a bit.
