POP mails receiving order

Hi all,

I got some claims from clients that dbmail-pop3d are listing mails
from new to old.
So the mail client may not sort mails properly cause of this.

I'm running dbmail 2.2.11 with qmail and PostgreSQL 8.1.18
I tested with 1000 mails.
qmail/dbmail-pop3d --> new to old
qmail/vpopmail -> old to new

How can I change the order to "from old to new"?
Need to change somewhere in pop3.c ? Or there is a patch already?

Thank you.

Microsoft Outlook does that!

Outlook Express shows old=>new if I remember.

No, I was using Outlook Express while tested.
It was new to old.

I also enabled the details query to DB, and found that pop3d got
"order by message_idnr asc"
but dont know why it queries from big one to small (=new to old) for
getting mail's body.

You can control this in the client and order mails
by subject, sender, date in both directions.

AFAIK even software from microsoft can do this :-)
