I'd do that if I knew it. Wierd thing is that I don't know which IAMP
server I'm using. It might be uw-imapd. I plan to install Cyrus, but
haven't done so yet.

This is the answer I got when I tried accessing it with telnet:

* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4REV1 X-NETSCAPE LOGIN-REFERRALS AUTH=LOGIN]
localhost IMAP4rev1 2001.315 at Wed, 12 Nov 2003 23:23:27 +0100 (CET)

PHP          4.1.2
Apache       1.3.26
SquirrelMail 1.4.1

This is from config.php:

$allow_thread_sort        = false;
$allow_server_sort        = false;
$allow_charset_search     = true;

I didn't change the thread and server sort settings, since I don't know if
the server supports them. Why wouldn't I be able to set sorting to true?
Surely that must be IMAP server related, and not a Linux distribution
related issue. Or are you thinking about the default IAMP server used with
a freshly installed Debian Woody?

I guess I should experiment more, but if it ain't broken, don't fix it.
This is also the reason why I want to change server: I want to know what
I'm running, and I want to understand how it's working. I'm rather new to
this (as if you wouldn't have guessed that already) and I don't have as
much time to try things as I would like to have. Anyway, I'll try to
change some settings right now and see what will happen. In fact, I've
already tried to activate both sort settings, and according to a quick
test it looks OK. I have to try it out some more in order to be sure
though. Thanks for you pointers, Tomas.

Sincerly,
Fredrik.
