Hi,
is there an IMAP server implementation out there (preferably a free
software one or someone willing to provide demo account for
interoperability testing) which supports CONTEXT=SORT, ie. incremental
updates to a saved SORT command?

I've looked at Dovecot, Cyrus, Isode, UW, Zimbra and Zarafa; none of
them appear to have that available according to their reported
capabilities after login.

With kind regards
Jan

The only server I see advertising CONTEXT=SORT capability is the Oracle/Sun CMES server. I don't know if Oracle still allows downloading it, but even if it does it's probably the most difficult piece of software I've ever set up. :)

I'll probably look into implementing CONTEXT=SORT after I'm done with BINARY.

I added the raw capability => server list to http://imapwiki.org/Specs/Raw. If anyone is interested feel free to add servers to the prettier format in http://imapwiki.org/Specs

Cyrus 2.4 also has the "suppress_capabilities" option which you can set on your frontends if you have backends which can't support some of the newer things - so you might see any random set :)
