SOLVED: sorting messages with MS Exchange 2003 IMAP backend

[guidobras]

Hi,
I'm testing v0.3.1 with our MS Exchange 2003 backend.

Unfortunately Exchange does not implement server side IMAP SORT and I have to work with that server.

Our users have 2000+ messages in their mailboxes

Roundcube is either too slow displaying message list and opening messages (with $rcmail_config['index_sort'] = FALSE)

or not accurate in sorting ($rcmail_config['index_sort'] = TRUE => messages are not sorted correctly)

Is there any patch or workaround to solve this issues?

Thanks in advance
Guido

It sounds like this problem http://trac.roundcube.net/ticket/1486438

Actually this seems a different issue: the "Use message index for sorting by date" works well in my installation.

The problem is:
-if the option (in the check box or directly in the config file) is true/flagged, the date sort order is not correct. Why? I'm not moving/manipulating messages with outlook as in ticket 1486438

-if it is false/unflagged, it takes (everytime) forever to display the message list


Thank you
Guido

PS
by the way, what's the "message index"? Is it a (mysql) database index built by roundcube logic or is it an attribute found in the header of a generic email message?
