Hi All,
I'm running Dovecot 1.2.9 and have noticed the IMAP list command does not appear to send a sorted list of folders with list command. For example on our Cyrus server I get a sorted list of folders (with INBOX listed first):
2 list "" "*"
- LIST (\Noinferiors) "/" "INBOX"
- LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "CalProject"
- LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Deleted Messages"
- LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Drafts" ...
while on our Dovecot server I get seemingly random listing:
2 list "" "*"
- LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "lsf"
- LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "mrg"
- LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "studiosysadmins"
- LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Deleted Messages"
- LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "TriTeam"
- LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "systemupdates"
- LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "bb"
- LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "nagios"
- LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "server" ...
Is this intentional, or have I done something wrong? I didn't see any option in the dovecot.conf to set the behavior of the list output.
Here is dovecot -n:
