Hi All,
I've been experimenting with deliver on my personal domain, and so far everything has been peachy except for Mail.app. Mail.app (on multiple devices) is showing what looks to be GMT times, rather than the date header. Initially I thought it was something I did on my Mac, until I got an Ipad to test with - and never connected it to my Mac - and had the same time issue.
It seems Mail.app uses the timestamp ('arrived date'?) on the mail file itself (Maildir here) to display the time.
So.. I have dovecot 1.2.10 installed on top of vpopmail (multiple MXs, delivering to OpenSolaris NFS share via tcp), and it seems that deliver is using the GMT time when writing the Maildir file, and vdelivermail just uses the adjusted time.. Or maybe it just allows the OS to write the timestamp.
When your MUA accesses the mail over IMAP, it does not see the Maildir file's mtime. Your MUA should use the Date header in the e-mail, or the date/time when it first sees the message (f.i. when not Date header is available). Failing to do so can only be a client issue. Not using the timezone you set up in your profile or environment also sounds like a OS/client issue.
How do messsages that display this issue look in another MUA with IMAP access?
