Hello, Due to a very slow IMAP server at work, I need to use some sort of IMAP synchronisation tool and either run my own imapd server or use a mail client that supports the Maildir storage directly.
The mail client I'd like to use is Apple Mail.app: it deals well with the broken email formatting I get. To this purpose, I run dovecot locally to serve the Maildir synchronised by isync. One of the issues with doing so, is that Mail.app will want to use the file timestamp (via dovecot) of the Maildir file as the email date received. iSync does not attempt to do anything specific with the timestamp of the Maildir file. When running a synchronisation, all files timestamps will simply be the date and time as of now. Hence in Mail.app, all emails will be reported as received now (more exactly at the time of sync) which is especially problematic for first synchronisation. A workaround would be to run a script that goes and extract a date stamp from the header of the emails and touch the files appropriately, but that sounds like an ugly workaround. Hence my question: would it be possible to add to isync the ability to preserve that timestamp from the original IMAP server? Isn't the date stamp part of the metadata read from the IMAP envelope? Thanks, Mathieu. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.
