to backup. Ive done that, by setting up dovecot with maildir format and
copy mails from old dbmail to new dovecot imap server with my mail

What is INTERNALDATE? The modification
timestamp is correct ("ls -l"), and the "Date: ... " line, too.


@dbmail: Dead is the wrong designation. But since the last 5 years i
only noticed bugfixes, the most "ideas for developement" (STARTTLS for
example) mentioned here [1] are still ideas.
