This gets weird in the concept of IMAP servers. The "official" copy
of the
mail is the on the server. IMAP clients will display the e-mail but
they
typically won't "fetch" it the way you're thinking (i.e. copied to the
local machine.)
Yes, they do. Even if it's headers first, then body, then attachments,
they still get to "fetch" the header of an incoming email at some
time. And this timestamp I want to get saved with the mail, locally.
I frequently use a web client (I am now), when away from home, at
home a
dedicated e-mail client, and traveling my iphone. None of them
"fetches"
mail.
I don't care whether it's push or pull - I want the timestamp my
client sees the email for the first time.
This is a client matter - it has nothing to do with IMAP or
synchronizing.
When I use two clients (my own MacBook while having breakfast, and
another Mac later at work), of course they end up with different
"Fetched" timestamps for the same email. But that's exactly what I
want - find out when THIS client got to see the email for the first
time.
