I think you have missed the point. Squirrelmail 1.4.0 worked fine, and I
guess there aren't that many major changes in a stable release cycle?

Also, the courier-imap server works flawlessly, I am using it myself,
and a couple of hundred other people are using it without problems as
well. It is just squirrelmail that has a problem here.

I do not believe so. Since squirrelmail tells courier to sort in
ISO-8859-1, that is an incorrect assumption that the server will support
ISO-8859-1. Shouldn't it be possible to configure squirrelmail so that
it queries with UTF-8 sorting?
