[SOLVED] imapsync invalid date format

[su_A_ve]

Testing imapsync v1.223 from a test account under uw-imap to Zimbra 4.5.7 NE

I'm running it with the following params:

--buffersize 8192000 --nosyncacls --subscribe --syncinternaldates \
--noauthmd5 ...

All folders got created, but no mail was transferred. Errors show as:

+ NO msg #57 [zRBqSixZzLW3oRh/L4/ohA:3056] in MYFolder
+ Copying msg #57:3056 to folder MYFolder
flags from : [\Seen]["13 Jun 2002 18:11:04 -0400"]
2107 BAD parse error: invalid date format
at /usr/local/bin/imapsync line 1178
Couldn't append msg #57 (Subject:[RE: subject...]) to folder MYFolder:
2107 BAD parse error: invalid date format

Any hints ??? TIA...

I had the same problem under FreeBSD and Cyrus IMAP.
Downgraded to imapsync ver 1.182 and things worked out.

Excellet - that works !

It's an error on Line 1163 of ImapSync:

$d = UnixDate(ParseDate($d), "%d %b %Y %H:%M:%S %z");

Should be

$d = UnixDate(ParseDate($d), "%d-%b-%Y %H:%M:%S %z");

to be RFC compliant.

After making that change, it works like a charm.

Seems the previous versions just send the date on to the destination in the same (hopefully RFC compliant) format the source gave it to them, but the new version parses it and reformats it. (But not quite to RFC standards.)
