My email workflow with Dovecot is that mail gets delivered to INBOX, where I handle it and then move it into a folder called archive.
I have alpine set to use the Default sort of "THREAD" of a folder. After moving a (few) mail(s) from INBOX to archive, archive takes a long time (10-50s) to load while alpine tells me:
[Sorting "archive" ... ](I can do the IMAP traces, but I figure alpine's terminology is going to be so similar to IMAP terminology that it should be straightforward enough for Timo to know what I'm talking about.)
I'd do the traces if I were you. Maybe it's something to do with "Thread Sorts By Arrival" or similar Alpine threading quirks. There was also traffic a couple months ago about threading scaling non-linearly in Alpine depending on that setting. I assume you're running a recent snapshot, but I don't recall whether that issue was resolved.
