However, if the client does so, Dovecot will set the mtime of the Maildir file in question to the date specified by the client even if it's in the future. Since files with an mtime in the future can cause all sorts of trouble (e.g., they might get backed up repeatedly by incremental backups), it would be nice if Dovecot would (optionally?) use the current time if the client specifies a time in the future.
