What specific action shall be done via IMAP? The move?
Then use any IMAP client library, use the LIST command to get the mailboxes,
FETCH to get the messages and COPY/EXPUNGE
to move them.
You are right moving the mail should be simple.
I ask myself it is possible to store the date of the resubmission in the mail
itself.
How shall the date be visible to the user?
Remember that altering the message may invalidate DKIM and other security /
verification stuff.
Instead of a simple "mv" you can prefix the message with "X-Date: " header, so
you mark the message, but it is not visible to the user.
If your goal is to have the message "up" according the client side message
sorting by date, you would need to alter the Date: header and possibly break message
verification.
What's your goal in order to " store the date of the resubmission "?
My goal is to use IMAP only, not external database. But I guess this is not
possible.
Maybe I rephrase: How should the Resubmission interfaces to the users, how
shall the users work with it?
The first sentence of the quoted text contains an IMAP-only variant.
However, pick up Håkon's advice and use STORE to remove the SEEN flag.
So I wonder how the Resubmission shall work.
I could alter the subject of the mail. What kind of message verification could
break?
For instance DKIM, it may (or may not) sign Date, Subject and other
headers.
