Well, that's a tough nut to crack. Using UTF-8 as the sorting charset  
is the only reliable way to sort strings in an international  
environment... We do not have an apriori way to discover the charsets  
supported by the server, as far as I can tell. Listing the CAPABILITY  
response might help a little. If you feel like playing with the code  
you can replace all occurences of UTF-8 in libbalsa/imap/imap-commands. 
c with eg US-ASCII or ISO-8859-15 by eg

perl -pi -e 's,UTF-8,ISO-8859-15,g' libbalsa/imap/imap-commands.c

We can also provide feedback on failed IMAP command but I do not  
exactly know where to put the IMAP sorting charset choice in the user  
preferences...
