The SORT extension enables the client to sort messages without downloading them. There are exactly seven sort criteria, which may be combined arbitrarily.
It should be noted that the address-related sorting provided by SORT uses only the localpart: info@aox.org and info@example.net are considered the same address by SORT. SORT=DISPLAYFROM improves on this.
SORT is used by some webmail clients, not many normal IMAP clients.
In case of questions, please write to info@aox.org.
