// move if not appropriate here, thanks.

So, the problem is rather generic, but since I noticed it in and mostly use claws-mail these days, I'll tag the topic with that.

Yesterday, claws showed me 1 new email, so I selected the inbox, but it "wasn' there", I skimmed through the folders I normally filter into, but also didn't found a thing. Later that evening, I checked mail with my mobile while being on the run and it again showed one unread email, received from my aunt.

Back at home, I searched the mails using my aunt's details and I found it - very very way down the list, with a date set as 01.01.2002. According to the headers, it's been send by Outlook (or Express), so either her PC or GMX had problems - I'm guessing GMX, since she's not techsavvy and AFAIK Windows pulls the date via online servers by default.

Anyway, is there a way to fix this as in change the date myself? I made changes to the cached local copy, but since I use IMAP, it's still the wrong date on the server, which I don't have shell access to and as far as webmail goes, I've only got roundcube and confixx as options, which don't show anything related to that.

Check the date on your aunt's computer.

I already replied to her with my comments about the date, no reply so far. ~1400km distance, nah, I'll go there for vacation, but not just for fun :p

Well, I didn't mean you had to check it personally. :lol:
