dovecot - Jan 2008 - OT: ctimes

I am going to convert my 32-bit Debian system to a 64-bit Debian system 
today.  But, after I move my maildir files over to the new hard drive 
the ctimes are going to get modified to current time and mess up my 
automatic purge scripts for the Deleted Items folders.  Is it possible 
for me to either keep the existing ctimes or is it possible for me to 
modify the ctimes to the date headers of the emails after I move the files?

Thanks,
Jeff

But it would get fixed by itself eventually..

As far as I know there's no way to affect ctimes from userspace.

IMAP requires that messages are immutable, so you shouldn't go changing
them.
