Mailing List Archive: Fwd: [Dbmail] DbMail Outlook Received Date

taking this to the development:

just checked rfc 3501; @ APPEND:

(..)
If a date-time is specified, the internal date SHOULD be set in
the resulting message; otherwise, the internal date of the
resulting message is set to the current date and time by default.
(..)

ilja, are we currently supporting a date-time string with an append
command (i'm pretty sure i never implemented it :$)?

rfc 3501, @ COPY:
(..)
The flags and internal date of the
message(s) SHOULD be preserved, and the Recent flag SHOULD be set,
in the copy.
(..)

is this being done according to the specs?

regards roel

The _ic_append() functions does check if there's a DATE field supplied,
but it just ignores the fact that it finds this DATE field.

Our copy statement does preserve the internal_date and all flags. It
does not set the Recent flag (unless this flag is still set in the
message that is copied). This is a very simple change (just set the
Recent flag to '1' in the new message. I'll change this immediately.
