So you want to download the entire set of messages to all 10000 of your clients and sort there? I do hope your network can cope with the gratuitous extra traffic :) > This also frees clients to upgrade their own hardware if its too slow, > giving users more control - it can sometimes take an act of a minor > deity to get a server upgraded. I wouldn't suggest that we no longer support local sorting -- we'll always have to talk to servers which can't do it for us, &c. But we should definitely be able to use server-side sorting if it's available. -- dwmw2 _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
