Hi,
I was looking on zimbra as i see the option to redirect an email but the issue is that it does not keep the date of the original email, is it possible though zm command to do so? moving certain emails to another inbox without modifying the date of the email?
Thank you

I want to begin by saying I have no idea what "Zimbra" is and I have read posts on this site about the problem I am having and didn't understand the answers that were given or what was going on and some of the answers had a hostile feel to them, accusing a poster of not reading the solutions that had been offered already (which, as I said, I did not understand). I am only here because last evening I was sitting and right in the middle of writing an email, all of a sudden, the page started to do something and
HTTP ERROR 502
Problem accessing ZCS upstream server. Cannot connect to the ZCS upstream server. Connection is refused.
Possible reasons
:
upstream server is unreachable
upstream server is currently being upgraded
upstream server is down
Please contact your ZCS administrator to fix the problem.

That error typically means that the Zimbra mailbox server (the "upstream server"; where your mailbox actually lives) is not happy but...
Your web browser doesn't actually talk to your mailbox server directly; it talks to a secure Zimbra Proxy server (which runs Nginx proxy software); the proxy server then securely brokers communications between your web browser and your actual mailbox server.
The error message is simply the Zimbra Proxy server service letting you know that it can't talk to the mailbox server where your mailbox lives.
Assuming you are not the system administrator, you do need to reach out to your company's Zimbra system administrator to get this sorted out.
Hope that helps,
Mark

Well, the simple answer is that the timestamps are added by the mail server and they are not modifiable by the user. If this was important to you then a quick internet search would have found the answer.

There is no email system that protects against the "SysAdmin Problem". Not Zimbra, not Gmail, not Microsoft 365, Courier, Dovecot etc. etc.

So when i was running postfix with webmin i was able to move email without touching the email headers and time stamps. and finally found out on zimbra
you need to know at least the subject of the email
you then get a list of emails of the subject prometheus, take a close look at the ID number choose which one you want
this case we chose id 2066 of the email now we need to take a look at the dump of the email and look at the blob path
Code: Select all
zmmetadump -m in@mydomain.com -i 2066
after finding the location of the blob path import to the email you want
Code: Select all
zmmailbox -z -m crm@mydomain.com addMessage /Inbox/ /opt/zimbra/store/0/8/msg/0/2066-5917.msg
So in theory its possible to move emails without touching email headers and time stamps
hope this helps someone else
