manually importing emails

Hi,
yesterday I have installed CWP for the first time. I've got most things up and running.
Today I imported my emails from a DirectAdmin based web server. I followed the instructions here:
http://wiki.centos-webpanel.com/how-to-manually-import-emails
The chown didn't quite work as described because the mail folders are all hidden. So I went one folder up (/var/vmail/<domain>) and then did

Code: [Select]

chown -R vmail:mail *
I do see all folders and emails in Roundcube now. However, 2 small problems:

- all emails (thousands in many folders) are marked unread
- all emails do not show the date they were received (the column is empty)

The first one can be solved by just marking them read, but that would take quite a while, so it would be good if there was a better way (even if it means marking *all* emails read).
But the date is a bigger issue for me. Is there any way I can get the dates imported with the emails?

Thanks in advance!
Chris

you need to add date time zone in php in order to see the dates

ahaa! thank you very much. that resolved the date issue. ;-)

any idea about the other problem where all emails are marked unread?
