Rainloop received date column shows wrong date

stueja commented 8 years ago

I noticed that Rainloop obviously does not show the "received" date from the header, but some other date (the date of storage on the mail server?)

I am using getmail to fetch mail from a remote imap server to my local imap server dovecot. I use Rainloop to log in to my local imap server.

Rainloop, in the received date column shows the date the message was stored in/fetched to my local imap server, even if the fetched email originally arrived in 2005.

Counter example: Thunderbird, displaying the original date.

Filesystem of one example mail in question:

root@router ~ # ls -al /home/mail_jst_web/Maildir/.INBOX.Shopping/cur/1469429770.M272592P5994.router,S=8892,W=9051:2,S 
-rw------- 1 mail_jst_web mail_jst_web 8892 Jul 25 08:56 /home/mail_jst_web/Maildir/.INBOX.Shopping/cur/1469429770.M272592P5994.router,S=8892,W=9051:2,S

Screenshot from Rainloop: untitled (Unfortunately, the Arch Linux Screenshot tool does not capture the tooltip popping up. It shows July 25 2016 8:56, the date and time when I used getmail to fetch the emails)

How can I have Rainloop display the original email date?

[labs]
date_from_headers = On

[labs] date_from_headers = On

(in /var/www/rainloop/public_html/data/_data_/_default_/configs/application.ini) works like a charm, thank you! :+1:
It works at least for the email from my first post, here as a reference:

See 1st and 3rd email in this screenshot: screenshot from 2016-07-28 09-25-11

All in all, the order of the emails seems unsorted: screenshot from 2016-07-28 09-42-04

@stueja did you solved your seccond problem? (wrong order) I'm getting this issue with ZOHO Imap I tried: use_imap_sort use_imap_thread date_from_headers but nothing changed...

stueja commented 8 years ago

@edtsz not yet, since I have not yet completed the task "have getmail fetch all emails from my email provider to my local server". Currently, I am using rainloop as client connecting to the email provider, not my local dovecot. Deep in myself, something is waiting for a developer reply ;)

NOlivNeto commented 7 years ago

@RainLoop I'm having the same problem. Messages from today, 2014, 2015, 2016 with no apparent sorting order. This is a major issue.

My server is yandex. Anything I can do to solve this?

Hi! ive got enabled date_from_headers = On, but still receive date from file create for some emails. after test i notice that emails have date format without weekday, like: "16 Mar 2018 11:07:05 +0300" instead "Fri, 16 Mar 2018 11:07:05 +0300", so rainloop cant identify date header. After manual header add "Fri", rainloop shows correctly. How to fix this problem with all emails?
