[Evolution] Fix for timestamp on Courier IMAP servers



Hello again,

This may be slightly off-topic...

If you transfer an old single-file mailbox (i.e. using Evolution) to a
Courier IMAP server with Maildir format, and then check your mail with a
webmail client (Squirrelmail, in particular), you may end up seeing all
the messages listed as having the exact same date and time.  This will
be the date and time that Evolution moved the messages from the local
mbox to the IMAP server.

Evolution displays the time and date just fine, so this isn't really an
Evolution issue at all, AFAIK, since any new messages sent from
Evolution have proper timestamps.  If anything it's probably a Courier
issue.

Well anyway, back when I switched from UoW's POP server to Courier IMAP,
I wrote a script that fixes the timestamps on all those messages.  If
anyone is interested in checking it out, please let me know, I'd be
happy to share it.

Eric
