I think there is no default imap server in woody. dpkg -l uw-imapd dpkg -l uw-imapd-ssl apt-cache search imap-server You can't enable server side sorting on woody, if you are using courier-imap v.1.4.3-2.3 and you have non-iso-8859-1 translation. I am still thinking if it is safe to use my email in bugs.debian.org. Older email that I've used now is suitable only for spamcop.net. :) If you have older courier version - you are not using security updates and your system might be unsafe. Try enabling server side sorting and sort message list by date or subject. Server side sorting is faster than php based sorting. Use it if you can. If you can't use it, try fixing your system. > 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.

If you are designing bigger webmail system and using uw-imapd, your system is broken and needs to be fixed. UW has only 30 years of compatibility, low performance with bigger mailboxes and configuration file that looks like precompiled binary. -- Tomas ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: ApacheCon 2003, 16-19 November in Las Vegas.
