I shouldn't be to my knowledge.  I set up IMP to sort by arrival date
(apparently the fastest?) when there's 1 or more messages.  I defaulted the
pref to sort this way in decending order (so newest message first).  Here's
the relevant settings (and the user in question has default values):

$conf['server']['sort_limit'] = '1';

$_prefs['mailbox_start'] = array(
    'value' => IMP_MAILBOXSTART_FIRSTUNSEEN,
    'locked' => false,

$_prefs['sortby'] = array(
    'value' => SORTARRIVAL,
    'locked' => false,

$_prefs['sortdir'] = array(
    'value' => 1,                       // default was 0
    'locked' => false,

I have tested with both a sortdir value of 0 and 1 and neither make a
difference.  Hopefully I didn't miss any setting that should be relevant.

Eli.
