How have you added the mails to the mailbox? Dovecot can't handle that kind of a timestamp.
Interesting... The dovecot 0.99 I was using was packaged with Mandriva. Is it possible that they added support for that time stamp themselves? My mailbox files get generated one of three ways: thunderbird, fetchmail, and postfix. I used thunderbird to convert my Outlook files to mbox files, and thats the one that I sent. Here is a sample timestamp from postfix:
It worked with 0.99 only because Dovecot didn't check errors as well as 1.0 does. So it just parsed those timestamps as being invalid, and set the received-time of mails wrong.
I suppose I could add support for it..
Unless you know of a conversion utility, I think that would be a good idea. I don't want to edit thousands of emails for multiple users manually in order to use dovecot.
Dovecot's current CVS version supports that timestamp format.
How do I compile the CVS version? "configure" seems to be missing. I tried downloading the snapshot from 20060105 but that fails make:

It seems like the code is horribly broken. All of the nightly snapshots except for 20060107 (which won't configure) fail with "main.c:14:25: dict-client.h: No such file or directory" it does this for src/imap/main.c AND src/pop3/main.c . I tried commenting out any lines that had to do with "dict-client.h" "dict_client_register();" and "dict_client_unregister();" inside the two files and it would compile those files but it would fail in src/deliver claiming that it is too old?
