[Dovecot] Index file (date timestamp) issue on OS X 10.6.2 Server

[Darren Latter]

Hi Timo,

When deleting the index files they get regenerated with the current time. All email in the inbox then is shown with correct time.

New incoming email still has same issue - the email client will show either the correct time or the 2037 date.
When checking the email headers - dates/times are correct.

Thanks,

Darren
