dovecot - Jan 2006 - Date recieve vs date sent

Hi All,

I have migrated a client from what I think was UW-IMAPD to Dovecot, using
the tool imapsync (http://www.linux-france.org/prj/imapsync/).  The client
is using Outlook and Outlook Express as their mail client and now all of
their emails have the date 20/01/2006 in the folder view.  When the email
is viewed directly, the date is the correct date for the email.

I was wondering if any one has any suggestions on how to make the received
date the same as the sent date, so that people can used their Inboxes
effectively?

Thanks,

It's just a configuration issue of your Mail-Client. You can usually
decided if you want to use received date or sent date.

But if you actually want to change the received date you can "touch"
each file with the sent date. That should work.
