We're testing the imapmigrate scripts (from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/cyrus-utils/) to migrate from a netscape messenging server to cyrus 1.5.19 (yes i know its an old version, but its a version i we know well and our needs are simple ;-).
All seems fine, except that all versions of Outlook and Outlook Express we've tested, when pointed at the new server, show the 'received' date of all emails as the time the migration tool place, rather than the correct time that the message was originally received...other mail clients (various versions of NM and pine) diplay the received field correctly. --- We suspect this is related to the MS KB entry http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q174/5/59.asp However this was logegd about 18 months and a couple of versions of outlook agao, so obviously M$ don't have this very high on their fixlist! Interestingly, the 'Sent' date field in Outlook IS correct after migration...so adding this field to the users' list of visible fields and sorting accordingly is a workaround, but not a solution. SO I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas/experience in ways to hack imapmigrate to work properly with (broken mail clients like) outlook? BTW I've lost the contact address of the author of this fine utility, but think he is on this list? cheers & thx in advance - darrell
