It does not work when using Outlook or Outlook Express. When using either of these mail clients, the "recieved date" never seems to match the message headers, but rather shows when the actual mail message was migrated.
Hi,
We had a similar problem (same sync tool, same issue) at our site recently.
Outlook apparantly displays the "Received" date, which in turn is calculated by the IMAP server based on when the mail arrived.
Thus all mails moved during your sync appear to be only recently arrived, and thus there received dates are messed up.
You have two options.
One is to change Outlook to dsplay the "Sent" field, and sort by this date. Unfortunately, you have to do it for every folder view, and the Sent columns will initially be null until you force Outlook to redownload all the message headers.
An easier option is to re-run the sync, but ask imapsync to preserve Received ("internal") dates via the --syncinternaldates command line switch.
Hope this helps. Paul. --- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
