ThunderBird does sorting on your own workstation. SquirrelMail does sorting on webserver or on imap server. http://www.courier-mta.org/mbox-vs-maildir/ It is possible that some mailbox formats used by uw or bincimap are faster, but i think they are not default ones. Test 1.5.1cvs, get decent IMAP server or make sure that you are not using client side filters. You can have Maildir based boxes in postfix or sendmail installs. I think, only one configuration file has to be modified. As for Lotus Domino IMAP - it does not hurt to ask IBM about SORT extension in Lotus Domino IMAP. You have paid for more than just nice boxes. If IBM haven't implemented this feature in their current product versions, they might consider implementing it in 7.x or they might provide some tips about optimizing your imap server. -- Tomas ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by Black Hat Briefings & Training.
