Thread: Sort by Date doesn't work if mails have been moved

Actually, if I set up another sort order

// default sort col
$rcmail_config['message_sort_col'] = 'size';

it doesn't work either. No order is applied. The date column is colored dark grey though.


EDIT: Have decided to move on to another webmail script. But maybe my hints are still useful to you.

This "bug" is still here...

Is there any way to correct this ?
Because moving mail destroy date sort, it's hard to manage folders in imap...

In version 0.3 and later, go to Preferences -> User Interface and uncheck the box for "Use message index for sorting by date".

I must hide myself under the carpet...

Thanks a lot.

I've just discovered this "bug" myself after moving all my mail to our new server. Is there anyway I can set this option off by default, so I don't have to go to all the users and do it manually?

EDIT:
Nevermind. I found it in main.inc.php

In addition to setting it to 'off' by default, you can also set it so the user can't see or change it later by adding it to the 'dont_override' array.

Code:

$rcmail_config['dont_override'] = array('index_sort','trash_mbox','sent_mbox','junk_mbox','drafts_mbox');

That's a very handy tip.
Thanks.

Hi,

is there any way to fix the message index for imported mails?

Best regards

This depends on how you import the messages, what you are importing from / to.

For example I am switching from Cyrus Imap to Dovecot using Cyrus2Dovecot ( Cyrus2Dovecot - Home ) and it keeps all the metadata in tact so I don't have to worry about this issue.
