I do have server side sorting on. In fact this is what the general options screen in conf.pl looks like on my machine.
SquirrelMail Configuration : Read: config.php (1.2.0) --------------------------------------------------------- General Options 1. Default Charset : iso-8859-1 2. Data Directory : /var/lib/squirrelmail/prefs/ 3. Attachment Directory : /var/spool/squirrelmail/attach/ 4. Directory Hash Level : 0 5. Default Left Size : 150 6. Usernames in Lowercase : false 7. Allow use of priority : true 8. Hide SM attributions : false 9. Allow use of receipts : true 10. Allow editing of identity : true 11. Allow server thread sort : true 12. Allow server-side sorting : true 14. Allow server charset search : true R Return to Main Menu C. Turn color off S Save data Q Quit Command >> As far as I can tell this is simply a case of php having too much to have to decided how to display. The only sorting that it the php is doing is to setup the threaded view html output. Can my courier-imap do this for it?
