It sounds like the only thing that is wrong is that the imap_sort() does not
like the SE_UID flag.  If the server does not like that flag, then there is
either a problem with PHP, c-client, or the server, not IMP.

IMP definitely needs the uid, not the message number that is returned
without the SE_UID flag, so there is no work-around to this problem (e.g.
rewriting IMP to use imap_sort() without SE_UID is most definitely not a
solution).  Since I don't have an exchange server, i can't help much more
than this.
