Grrr. We do have a bug. I can confirm I had this happen to me on a
postgres installation. I didn't remember Ralf's report (no bug was filed
on the tracker at the time. Is now, though). Do you run postgresql?

Indeed.

There's some rudimentary python classes in python. But what do you mean
by 'sorted'? Do you want to move messages into folders en masse? Based
on arrival date? Please elaborate a bit if you can.

Would be nice to do mailboxes as views in the database. First you'd have
the requirement of the database server supporting writable views.
But you would also require some middleware for managing those views. I'm
guessing here, but I wouldn't be surprised if the imapext/lemonade
groups are already working on a prototype/design. If not, we'd have to
design our own imap extension 'VFOLDER'.
