Hello All. I have a goofy problem I cannot seem to fix. I was tasked with migrating all mail from an MS Exchange 5.5 server to Postfix. I am using SuSE Linux OpenExchange Server 4.1 which is running Postfix 1.1.12-34. Cyrus-imapd-2.1.9-92 is also used for IMAP.
To actually perform the migration I used imapsync from http://www.linux-france.org/prj/ All worked well. Status indicators such as read, unread, forwareded, etc were all maintained. Attachments migrated successfully as well. Here is my problem. The received date does not always display correctly, even though it seems to be correct in the message headers. When using a web mail client such as Cyrus, the "Received Date" is always correct when looking at either a mailbox's inbox, or when actually viewing the message detail. This also works correctly when using a mail client such as Mozilla Mail or Thunderbird on Windoz or Linux. 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. Here is an example. Note, I put bogus user/domain names in the example. According to the message headers, the Received Date should be 5/13/04 12:40PM not 7/18/04 which is when the message was migrated. If I double click the message in Outlook or Outlook Express it shows the correct date as "Sent Date". Please Help.
