| We use PHP's imap_sort() call, which in turn calls a c-client function
| called, I think, mail_sort_full (something like that). It was my
| understanding that that function DOES use server-side sorting.

PHP's imap_sort() does use the SORT command, although not all of IMAP's 
SORT functionality is currently supported - see http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?
id=21168.
