[Dovecot] Squirrelmail/dovecot sort problem/bug

[A.P.Munnikes]

Hello,

there is a little bug in Squirrelmail 1.4.5 or Dovecot 1.0.alpha4-1:

the sort is not correct if I use squirrelmail with the option:
10. Allow server thread sort    : true
11. Allow server-side sorting   : true

with the option on false and with Thunderbird 1.5rc1 there is no 
problem, but I think Thunderbird 1.5rc1 already does the sort by itself.

I have a folder with 1054 messages, but if I sort (from old to new) them 
in squirrelmail the newest 3 messages (received after the migration from 
thunderbird/pop3 to dovecot) are on the first page, before the messages 
from 5 month ago.

14:08 	3.4 k 	    (that is today 8 dec, 2005 )
08:26 	5.2 k 	+
00:07 	2.9 k 	
8 jul, 2005 	4.1 k 	
6 jul, 2005 	3.5 k 	
3 jul, 2005 	3.1 k 	
8 jul, 2005 	4.1 k 	
6 jul, 2005 	3.3 k 	
8 jul, 2005 	3.8 k 	
5 jul, 2005 	4 k 	
8 jul, 2005 	7.4 k 	
11 jul, 2005 	6.8 k 	

Also my 'sent' folder: sorted from new to old contains on the last page 
2 messaged that I send today (after the migration to dovecot)

12 jan, 2005 	2.8 k 	
12 jan, 2005 	1.7 k 	
11 jan, 2005 	1.5 k 	
10 jan, 2005 	1.1 k 	
8 dec, 2005 	1.1 k 	( <= send from thunderbird)
8 dec, 2005 	1.6 k 	( <= send from squirrelmail)

And also an other mail folder has sorting problems.


However my INBOX looks normal, while I received 5 or 6 messages after 
the migration.


What have I done:
*restarted apache2 a couple of times
*restarted dovecot a couple of times
*In the first folder (with >1000 messages) I already have deleted the 
dovecot files and new files are generated
-rw-------    1 alfred alfred 17184 2005-12-08 23:41 dovecot.index
-rw-------    1 alfred alfred 60416 2005-12-08 23:42 dovecot.index.cache
-rw-------    1 alfred alfred 17908 2005-12-08 23:42 dovecot.index.log
-rw-------    1 alfred alfred    10 2005-12-08 21:15 dovecot-keywords
-rw-------    1 alfred alfred 40600 2005-12-08 23:41 dovecot-uidlist
*closed webbrowser and restarted a new firefox 1.5 and surfed to 
squirrelmail.


I don't know if this is a dovecot or squirrelmail problem.
