Hi All,
I've been experimenting with deliver on my personal domain, and so far
everything has been peachy except for Mail.app. Mail.app (on multiple
devices) is showing what looks to be GMT times, rather than the date
header. Initially I thought it was something I did on my Mac, until I
got an Ipad to test with - and never connected it to my Mac - and had
the same time issue.
It seems Mail.app uses the timestamp ('arrived date'?) on the mail file
itself (Maildir here) to display the time.
So.. I have dovecot 1.2.10 installed on top of vpopmail (multiple MXs,
delivering to OpenSolaris NFS share via tcp), and it seems that deliver
is using the GMT time when writing the Maildir file, and vdelivermail
just uses the adjusted time.. Or maybe it just allows the OS to write
the timestamp.
Either way, is this a known issue with deliver - or is there a patch? I
don't recall ever seeing it come up on the list, and I'm not seeing
anything in the changelog.

Your MUA should use the Date header in the e-mail, or the date/time when it first sees the message (f.i. when not Date header is available). Failing to do so can only be a client issue. Not using the timezone you set up in your profile or environment also sounds like a OS/client issue. How do messsages that display this issue look in another MUA with IMAP access? -- Regards, Tom -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Can you post the headers of the message, along with the expected/actual results? (My guess would be that Mail.app thinks you live in Greenwich.)

With Maildir it's the same as the file's mtime. With Mail.app you can configure it to show/sort messages by "Date Received" (=INTERNALDATE) or "Date Sent" (=Date: header). I prefer the "Date Received" so that a bad Date: header won't put the mail in the middle of the mailbox.
