Second, it isn't guaranteed to be right. The topmost Received: header reflects when the destination server accepted the incoming message, not when it delivered it into the recipient's mailbox. If the receiving server has a big queue backlog, then the discrepancy between reception time and final delivery time can be significant. > ...not when the IMAP mailstore was last edited. If you edit the mail store correctly then you won't get unintended side effects. Clobbering INTERNALDATE, however it is represented in the mail store, is a mistake. -- Donald L.
