Thanks!  Wow this has been bothering me for quite some time.  I couldn't 
figure why my inbox was sooooooooooo slow.  I use Courier also on a 
pretty fast server with not very many users and lots of ram.  Perhaps 
$conf[server][sort_limit] should have a default value of 50 instead of 0 
or there should be a big warning when you switch the sort order about 
the severe performance hit if you have many messages in the folder?  
Thunderbird could access Courier very fast so I couldn't figure out 
what/where the problem lay.

Thanks,
