sort the articles on imap server by date physically

sort the articles on imap server by date physically

[Uwe Brauer]

Hello

Due to some changes and collapses of the mail sytem, some of my mail
on the imap server, in some folders, is not in chronological order.
With gnus I can sort it by date, however this sorting is not
permanent. VM on the other hand offers a possibility to sort messages
either virtually or physically. Does gnus offer such a
functionality. I searched the documentation but without success.

Thanks

Enter the group with `C-u RET', sort by date `C-c C-s C-d', process
mark all articles `M P b' and move all file to the same folder `B m'.

Bye, Reiner.

Maybe people on the developer list (ding@gnus.org) could help.  Be
sure to put "imap" and "agent" in the subject.

Bye, Reiner.
