Hi all,
 
I've run the mbox2cyrus.pl script to import our old wu-imapd mail folder to our new cyrus imapd 2.1.3 system. After a bit of tweaking in the perl script I managed to get it to import ok, except the received times on the imported messages are set to the time that they were imported.
 
Does anyone know of a way to set the received time for each message? I can get the received time out of each mail file in /var/spool/imap, but I don't know where the received time is stored for each of the messages. My guess is that its stored in the cyrus.index or cyrus.header file somewhere. I thought it might be the modified time on each mail file, but I tried that and it didn't make any difference.
 
The weird thing is that it's only the received time in Outlook or Outlook Express that is stuffed up. If I used netscape or the IMP webmail browser to view the mail then the received times are ok. So I'm thinking that netscape and IMP use the date the message was created to sort by instead of the date the message was received.
 
Anyone got any ideas on how I get get this received time correct?
 
Thanks
 
Adam Fox.
