Re: [Evolution] Eudora 7 Outbox mail migration to Evolution





1. Yes an email copied into the Sent folder where the Eudora Outbox
emails were imported to does show the date normally in the message list.

I suspect that it is getting confused by the blank fields - especially
the "In-Reply-To:" & "References:" - RFC2822 [1], which the mbox format
uses as a specification for the messages within it, specifies that there
must be at least 1 msg-id in both those fields if they are present.
Whether Evo is that strict is something that a developer would have to
answer; there is also some merit in saying that if it is the case that
that's the problem, then Evo should be more lenient.

As a test you could try shuting down Evo completely (i.e. use "evolution
--force-shutdown") and edit the relevant Evo mbox file to remove the
lines with blank fields.  (Making sure you have a backup copy of the
file, just in case.)  Start up Evo again and see if the date is now
correct.
