Re: Fix dates via IMAP on messages

Thank you to the two gentleman who gave me useful input. I think I'll go about it how you said, I checked a few random messages out of the bunch and the received date looked correct. Good enough for me, I just need the dates to be somewhere in the correct ballpark, a few minutes makes no difference (these are mails from 7 years ago.. who are we kidding..)

To the guy with the huge chip on his shoulder, if you don't have something helpful to say, don't say anything. I looked at the getdate.y you keep mentioning the first time you brought it up, no need to slam other people who are attempting to help, and have VALID points. I don't need all 40830484 spam mails that are stuck in my archive suddenly popping up as my most recent mail, that would be a NIGHTMARE. I'd *much* rather work off the received by date stamp. I appreciated your input the first time, and I thank you for it, but really - no need to be so abrasive to other people trying to help. It just so happens I like their solution best.

Cheers,
David

getdate.y groks anything that is (usefully) valid. The rest you should just throw in the bit bucket. Why make life miserable for yourself?
