#1381 1.4.1 sort by received date broken
Just upgraded from 1.4.0 to 1.4.1. Sort by received date
no longer works, sorting is now by the Date header despite
enabling the "Enable Sort by of Receive Date" option (which
is grammatically incorrect). No change was made to any
other email system components.
Web server is running Red Hat 9 with Apache 2.0.40.
IMAP server is Courier-IMAP.
Possibly related to the recent fixes to header parsing,
or to the IMAP performance improvements?

The order is sort by receive date. The displayed date is the
rfc822 header date.
Others find it confusing that the displayed date in
message-list doesn't match the date in message-view so I
changed it.

Stekkel, what you describe is how 1.4.0 worked. Under
1.4.1, it is BOTH sorting by and displaying the RFC822 date
header. I have 1.4.0 installed in a different directory on
the server and have verified that with the same
configuration ("Enable Sort by of Receive Date" enabled),
the two releases behave differently. As far as I can tell,
the 1.4.1 behavior is broken.

Please provide more detail about your IMAP server, operating
system, Version of SquirrelMail, and the circumstances which
produced the bug.
Since we could not reproduce this problem, providing the same
information will not help. Please be as specific as possible.
Some problems may require taht we make a coding effort and then
you try the new version to see the results. Thanks for your help.

The server is running Red Hat 9 with Apache 2.0.40. The
IMAP server is Courier-IMAP 2.0.0, though the problem was
also observed with 1.3.7, 2.1.1, and 3.0.2. I'm running
SquirrelMail 1.4.1. The cirumstances which produced the bug
is the upgrade from SM 1.4.0 to SM 1.4.1; the sort by
receive date feature worked fine in SM 1.4.0, and I have
NEVER seen it work in 1.4.1.
I have confirmed multiple times that "Enable Sort by of
Receive Date:" on the display preferences is enabled. Now
it is sorting by the date header in the message, so I
routinely get messages (and spam) with dates that are months
or years in the past or future, which results in new
messages being sorted with very old messages, or staying at
the top of the list despite there being more recently
received messages.
I have SM 1.4.0 still installed in another directory, and
can confirm that it still sorts correctly by received date.
A message that I received a week ago, but is dated August
2004, always sorts to the top when I use SM 1.4.1, but 1.4.0
sorts it properly. Thus I really do not believe that the
problem is with my web server or IMAP server.
I'd be happy to create you an account on my mail server if
it would help. You could send test messages to the account
and see how they sort, and you could also examine the
mailbox using another client program with IMAP over SSL.

I've just installed 1.4.2, and it fails to sort by received
date just like 1.4.1. While 1.4.0 still works correctly.

Open functions/imap_messages.php and search for the
following line:
case 'date': $date = $value; break;
and comment it out by doing:
// case 'date': $date = $value; break;
The result will be that the internaldate value will not be
overwritten when INTERNALDATE is returned before the HEADER
fileds are returned. That should solve your issue.
Soon I will fix this more permanently.
The reason I couldn't produce it was because in my case the
INTERNALDATE was returned after the HEADER and besides, I'm
using serverside sorting which you should use to because
courier supports it. On top of my head I do not know how it
will work with serverside sorting but I will take a look.
Sorry that it took so long but I didn't expect I realy
introduced a bug by rewriting that function completely and
everything worked fine in my case ;)

Can you please retest this issue, and see if it is still an
issue with the latest release, or if Marc's changes are
working for you?
