1 | Small tool to fix the IMAP internaldate |
| 2 | in case it's too much off compared to the last date | |
| 3 | stored in the received lines. | |
| 4 | ||
| 5 | F.e. some IMAP clients tend to reset the imap internaldate | |
| 6 | when you move a message between folders. | |
| 7 | ||
| 8 | Features: | |
| 9 | - Configurable tolerance | |
| 10 | - Test mode: Show only what would be done | |
| 11 | - Statistics: How many messages it would modify per user / folder | |
| 12 | - Log file with all actions | |
| 13 | - Caching | |

15 | Important note: Only the -first- received line is interpreted. |
| 16 | This was the lastest date on our server. We don't interpret | |
| 17 | all received lines because spam messages tend to contain bogus dates. | |
| 18 | An alternative approach would be to interpret the "Date:" header. | |
