[Dovecot] evolution and received by header
Evolution has a nice feature where it can sort messages by the most recent received-by date, instead of the Date: header.
This is nice, because then if something gets stuck on a server somewhere in the world for a couple of days, it shows up at the end of your mail list, instead of way back where you might miss it.
However, when using dovecot with evo, if I sort of received by instead of date, it takes forever. I assume this is because date is indexed, and received by is not.
So the natural question becomes, is there a way of getting dovecot to index received by?
TIA.

Last I looked, Evolution fetched all except Received headers for all messages and sorted them locally. For Received-sorting it used IMAP's "internaldate" field, not the Received-header.
I'm using Received-sorting with Evolution 1.4.6 and it isn't slow. I don't know if they've changed something in 2.0 though.

1.0-tests automatically cache whatever headers are specifically requested.
