Hi!

Have you talked with the person who wrote the pine maildir

about this?  Maildir clients are not _supposed_ to parse or

the filename of the messages themselves.

The IMAP protocol requires the server to be able to report both
the date
the message was sent (from the "Date:" header) and the so-called
server
"internal date" when the message was actually introduced into the
mailbox.
I suspect the c-client maildir patches are attempting to parse
the latter
out of the file name, since the file access/modify date is not a
reliable
indicator.

Hmm... maybe you are right. But when I tried out courier-imapd-0.99, the 
same thing also happens with the emails going out of sync, etc...
