IMAP Extensions SORT and THREAD

Jan 15, 2004, 2:48 AM

Post #1 of 7 (1207 views)

Has anyone considered implementing the SORT or THREAD extensions? It would
seem to be quite an easy way to boost performance of web based imap clients if
the database did the sorting for us for them ;-)

Here's the internet-draft:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-imapext-sort-14.txt

I'd be happy to work on this, but wouldn't be able to touch it for several
weeks at best, more likely several months. Ilja? Other volunteers?

Incidentally, replying to my own message here (thread extension, hmm ;-) I
propose that this goes onto the Milestones list for 2.1

I'm curious, are there any clients using these commands? I can see
they're useful, but if there are no clients using them, I think we
shouldn't bother.

I've put this under the "needing discussion"-header in the milestone
list ;)

I'm pretty sure SquirrelMail will use this if available.

OK, that's a plus then. We also use squirrelmail for our webmail :)

And will work much faster...

My friend has INBOX (800 messages) which opens (dbmail2 and squirrelmail)
30 seconds... :-\

Turn on the Query Cache in MySQL's my.cnf. It dramatically reduces page load
times for the main email list.

PS - What are those funky characters in your subject lines?
