Hi,
If we do own a Mail server supporting, how is it possible to add a sort extension to it ?
Also how is it possible for a client using java mail to check if the server does indeed support the Sort extension ?

A:
Adding an extension will be dependent on the IMAP server in question, and probably a question for Serverfault.com.

+1 for the suggestion,is it possible for the client to know if the server supports the SORT function ?

If I telnet to an IMAP server (port 143) its status line gives me info on what it can do. I don't know if this is reflected in the JavaMail API, unfortunately.

Yes, it is possible to detect the support of SORT extension. Connect to the server and issue the CAPABILITY command. Ie. "telnet example.org 143" and then write "A0 CAPABILITY"<enter>.

Can you determine capability via the JavaMail API though ?
