"an experimental server-based sorting extension to the IMAP4rev1 protocol, as implemented by the University of Washington's IMAP toolkit" , you mean?

That sounds like a very poor excuse for a failing that no other client IME exihibits.

Consider the effect of sorting a load of messages from "support@" different domains - nonsense, basically.

But if Fastmail really has to sort like this, could it at least /display/ the value it is sorting on? Then the user might stand some chance of manually decoding the mess.
