[imp] Performance problems when sorting mails

[Pablo Guaza Peces]

Hi! Thank you all for your fast answers!
Sorry, i forgot the IMAP server:
Courier 1.4.3.1

I also forgot to say that once I select to sort my emails by date (or 
any other criteria but #) I always get the 3-4 seconds delay when 
accesing to my Inbox.

Besides that, I thought that the sorting is made by the IMP PHP scripts. 
Doesn't he IMAP server only provide the list of mails ordered by UIDL?

If I select sorting my emails by #, it doesn't take any delay; I guess 
that it's because it takes the list of emails just as the IMAP server 
provides them. If I select any other sorting criteria then the delay 
appears...  Is there way to configure IMP to make the IMAP server sort 
the list of emails with different criteria? Is that faster?

Thanx
