I'm testing out mbsync to backup and restore my gmail. The only major glitch I've ran into so far is that when I restore my email (i.e. push it up to gmail) the date/time display in gmail's summary view is set to the date and time I used mbsync to perform the push. However in gmail's individual message view the correct original email date is shown. What really makes this annoying is that gmail date searches use the incorrect upload date/time.
This problem isn't unique to mbsync. Evolution and Kmail also have this problem when they upload emails to gmail via imap. However, other clients (like Thunderbird and offlineimap) work ok (i.e. the correct original email date/time stamp is shown everywhere). It's even part of gmail's imap faq here: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=82365&topic=12922 so it sounds like gmail may provide a fix someday. Any change mbsync will join the elite list of imap clients that can give gmail the correct date & time? Now for something completely different. Is the project name ever going to be changed to mbsync? IMHO the isync name doesn't provide much value to a newbie. Just try googling for "isync" and see how many non-apple results you get. :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Register now and save $200.
