It appears to me that sync'd messages get an mtime of the INTERNALDATE in 2.3.9 (and then improved in 2.3.10). Prior to that release, mtime is probably when the message was sync'd, at a guess. In your case, the subsequent message dates are probably just reflecting the speed of replication. The best way to correct those data IMHO is to upgrade, sync_reset the data on the replica, and replicate it again. :wes On 24 Oct 2008, at 09:20, Shelley Waltz wrote: > One user on my cyrus replica has the dates wrong on the message files. > I moved messages from one imap server to a new imap server and the > message dates were preserved just fine.
