Hi Rajiv,
I think we should not go for hacks and wait until JavaMail supports
sorting properly. Even better thing to do - check out the source of
JavaMail, implement it there and contribute them a patch.
Anyway, you should put the results of your research to comments of
Issue #7 (http://code.google.com/p/gmail4j/issues/detail?id=7)
Delete messages feature sounds good to me. Just create an issue in the
tracker and go for it.
Regards,
Tomas
