Squirrelmail does allow you to sort by receive date, it's in Options ->
Display prefs -> Enable Sort by Receive Date:. IMAP supports an INTERNAL
DATE value that represents the received date of the message independant of
whatever date is in the headers. If you want a web based mail client
similar to squirrelmail that does allow you to see all unread messages for
selected folders without having to page through them you can check out my
project here:

http://hastymail.sourceforge.net/

We have a "new mail" page that can be configured to display unread messages
in any folder in your IMAP account. You can operate on the messages
directly (delete/move/read/), sort them by any method your IMAP server
supports as well as collapse and expand each folders view.
