DISCLAIMER: the above may not be entirely correct, but is what I have seen when manually putting messages into a folder in the imap spool directory (cp msg <imap spool>/user/name/folder/<msg number>.) and running reconstruct on that folder. If you "touch <msg received date> <imap spool>/user/name/folder/<msg number>." after placing the message in the folder and before using reconstruct, the mail client will show the correct received date, otherwise it shows the date the message was placed in the folder. > Weird...

If you try OE, it will show the received date on the message you migrated as the date the message was placed in the folder. Scot
