Date Received in Mail.app

Fri, 26 Oct 2007 14:32:15 -0700

So after much experimenting, I have come to a conclusion about where the “Date Received” field comes from in Apple’s Mail.app. My ‘hunch’ is that it is a cached value that it has for a message if that is available. If that is not available, it will use the earlier of the time of connection with IMAP or the INTERNAL DATE on the message provided by IMAP.

Now for some more useless information. It appears that the INTERNAL DATE sent from IMAP is the last modified date of the file in the Maildir for Courier IMAP.

How’s that for useless information for the day. (Had I known this before it would have saved me the last 3 hours.)
