 I am right now migrating to IMAP (which I'm new to). I wanted to copy the
 mailsin an mbox file containing my old inbox to my new IMAP inbox:

   c/foo_path/copy_of_old_inbox
   T.
   ;s!
   x

 However, in the new IMAP inbox "set sort = date-received" no longer seems
 to wor
 k. I think this is because the "From " date/time got destroyed in the
 copy. I ca
 nnot see the "From " header in the IMAP folder, but if I copy (C) the mail
 to a
 file, I see that the "From " header has been modified, e.g.

   From foo@xxxxxxx Tue Feb  9 17:58:20 2010
