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.
I thought all IMAP clients did the sorting internally. So yeah, I haven't added extra unnecessary code for it. Although I think if you're using Maildir (with Maildir++ layout) it'll get sorted.
Hi Timo,
Thanks for the info. I think most clients do sorting, but it seems Smartsieve doesn't. I guess since it is Cyrus-centric, it must assume the list is already pre-sorted from Cyrus so it just uses a PHP imap-list method to get the list of folders. Using Dovecot with Smartsieve shows the unsorted folder list.
I tried setting the LAYOUT=maildir++ option, but still don't get a sorted list. I'll try with a new account, but otherwise I can just modify Smartsieve to sort the returned list.
Cheers, Ron
