Hi all, The home page of the Dovecot website indicates: "Supports multiple commonly used IMAP extensions, including SORT, THREAD and IDLE." However, I cannot find instructions in the Wiki for how to enable these extensions. Can someone tell me how to do this? I will add this info to the Wiki myself if need be. Thanks. ----- Colin Brace Amsterdam http://lim.nl -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/enabling-IMAP-SORT-and--THREAD-extensions-tp27673898p27673898.html Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Of course, you need some IMAP client (webmail) that actually uses these extensions. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

The reason I asked is that in the Squirrelmail docs: http://www.squirrelmail.org/docs/admin/admin-6.html#ss6.3 it says: [...] To find out if the IMAP server supports server-side sorting and threading, telnet to it and ask: $ telnet imapserver.example.com imap * OK 1 capability * CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 UIDPLUS CHILDREN NAMESPACE THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT THREAD=REFERENCES SORT QUOTA IDLE AUTH=PLAIN STARTTLS 1 OK CAPABILITY completed The SORT and THREAD capabilities indicates that this server supports these extensions. Next step is to configure SquirrelMail to use them. [...] If telnet into Dovecot on my server, it doesn't explicitly indicate SORT and THREAD capabilities: $ telnet localhost imap Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN] Dovecot ready. Hence my confusion. -Colin -- Colin Brace Amsterdam http://lim.nl
