Maybe somebody [Hi Sam :)] could help me with this one. I recently
migrated from using POP3 to IMAP, and moved all my mail messages from
my email client's database into my Maildir. Everything arrived just
fine, but the messages were given new file names, based upon the time I
did the transfer. Consequently, when my mail client displays the
message list, the date & time received is wrong. I say 'wrong' because
all my messages are listed as having been received at the time I
transferred them to the Maildir, which although technically correct is
unhelpful, as there are some 5000 messages involved.
Lookout Express for windows has a configuration option to use the
sent-date instead of the received-date for date display. I'm not in front
of my windows machine right now, so I couldn't tell you where the setting
is (and it may be different on a mac) but it solved this problem for me.
The linux client I'm using (mulberry from http://www.cyrusoft.com/) lets
you control the items to display in the message list, and provides both
sent-date and received-date as options.
