[imp] IMP shows mailbox as empty when sorted by date is required

Quoting Jean-Yves Avenard <jyavenard at gmail.com>:

> Hello

> I have a horde installation which has been working fine for several years.

> I have one user with over 14,000 emails in his mailbox.
>
>> From time to time, its inbox will show no messages "There are no

>  messages in this folder.
>
> I usually sort this issue by deleting the user preferences in the

>
> However, today I've been able to always reproduce that issue.
>
> By default, IMP will sort messages by message ID and it will be able

>
> However, if the sort order is changed in any ways, IMP will report
> "There are no messages in this mailbox." and you can not change the
> sorting options anymore and the inbox folder will stay forever empty.
>
> Changing the sorting order in the Options menus have no effect whatsoever.
>
> I have allocated 128MB to PHP in php.ini.
>
> I can not see any error messages in any logs.

Sounds like either a broken IMAP server or a broken c-client.
