IMAP sort is treated completely wrong.
The arguments are NOT
["charset" charset-atom] search...
but actually:
program-list charset-atom search...
Thusly, I should be able to say:
. SORT (DATE REVERSE SUBJECT) US-ASCII ALL NOT DELETED
but this doesn't work. See
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-imapext-sort-17.txt
for the current version of the specification for the IMAP SORT
extension.
Worse still, if I actually go ahead and:
. SORT CHARSET US-ASCII ALL NOT DELETED
I get garbage:
* SORT 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
This is completely wrong. If "SORT" isn't supported, it MUST not be
announced when one says ". CAPABILITY"
Please remove it from CAPABILITY until this is fixed.
