Re: [SM-USERS] server-side sorting

[Rosander <ros...@ow...>]

That particular plugin will sort the mail when you log in. One of the 
better ways to handle server side sorting is something like Sieve w/ 
cyrus imap. Sieve actually handles sorting as the message is delivered 
to you local delivery agent. SM has good plugins to support setting up 
sieve filters through the sq mail interface so mail is sorted by the 
server. Less impact loading.
