help with zmmailbox addMessage

[hlribeiro]

Hi,

I'm facing an already discussed problem here in forums, but without any answers found (at least by me): I'm trying to use zmmailbox addMessage command to import messages in maildir format into a zimbra account (there is no imap). The problem is that the time/date of messages are set to the copy time/dates, and not the data from "Date:" header.

I've already tried to put a "X-Zimbra-Received" header along with other message headers, without success.

Any known solution?

Use the -d switch to zmmailbox addmessage. The date is measured in milliseconds since the epoch (1/1/1970).

I need to have X-Zimbra-Received: date not this 631170000000 on the Received Date for the email.

Are you saying I need to script this to open each message, grep X-Zimbra-Received out and feed -d <arg> with that value?

Not to efficient I guess

If you have the X-Zimbra-Received date already in the message header and you're adding to the Inbox, you could just use zmlmtpinject.

Otherwise, you're stuck converting to UNIX time (perl should do this for you) and multiplying by 1000. If you'd like to see zmmailbox -d take a Date-style header, please file a bug in bugzilla and we'll try to get to it soon.

Ok
zmlmtpinject is only for Inbox so I create a filter to load into another folder. this takes care of the Recieved date issue. But all messages are shown as been not read which is not True. That is why I was trying with zmmailbox -> am cause the status of the message is the right one.
Am i corrected on this?
