It this intentional, or did I miss something in the > docs/manual ? http://cyrus.brong.fastmail.fm/ - in particular cyrus-receivedtime-2.3.8.diff - and cyrus-syncmtime-2.3.8.diff Will do a lot of what you're interested in here. The receivedtime diff actually does quite a lot more, including parsing the 'Received' headers from the message and using them to set the internaldate. Much tricky. That said, we don't have a patch for the move case. I'll test that and see what it does with the receivedtime patch, because it's quite possible that it's not actually setting the mtime. If so, I suspect a line in mailbox_copymove() might do the trick across the board... (I'm on my laptop on a train right now and due to some filesystem experimentation yesterday I managed to blow away my local copy of the source code so I can't check it) Bron. ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
