Hi,
I am trying to connect to gmail through imap protocol and retrieve messages through the java mail 1.4.4 API.But when I tried to sort the messages using the getSortedMessages(sortType,searchTerm) method i get an exception saying "Caused by: com.sun.mail.iap.BadCommandException: SORT not supported". Could anyone explain me the reason for this as i have setup the imap configs in my program according to gmail settings.

	It means Gmail doesn't support the SORT extension. It's an optional extension, not all IMAP servers support it.

	Thanx shannon. Is their any possibility that gmail imap will support sorting at least after JavaMail 1.4.4 ?

	Maybe I wasn't clear. The problem isn't in JavaMail. The problem is in Gmail. You'll need to ask Google when they'll support the SORT extension.
