incorrect date displayed

[rossi]

Hi guys,

yesterday I moved a lot of old local saved mails from my computer to my imap server.

Everthing worked fine and aqua mail show me all mails via imap.

But all mails has the same date. That date when I moved them to the imap server (yesterday).

Other mailclients show the right old date.

Is it a bug or have I to setup aquamail.

Best regards
rossi

Yes, Aqua uses the so-called INTERNALDATE from the IMAP server.

This is intentional -- using the Date header from actual messages can produce wrong results when the sending device has misconfigured date/time (happens sometimes). I actually used to get a lot of reports / complains on this.

Some mail services will set the INTERNALDATE to the Date header when you upload old messages -- apparently, your mail service is not one of those.

I found a way to implement a per-account setting to choose which date/time value Aqua picks up: date/time received or the Date header.

Please see this for further info on how to configure a migrated mail account (IMAP) where you've uploaded old messages:
