 Eurora shows by default the time the imap server received the email.
 I think it is quite a strong behavior since the messages can
 have travelled some time before the reception.

+Q: Multiple copies when I run imapsync twice ore more.
+
+R. Multiple copies of the emails on the destination
+server. Some IMAP servers (Domino for example) add some
+headers for each message transfered. The message is
+transfered again and again each time you run imapsync. This
+is bad of course. The explanation is that imapsync considers
+the message is not the same since headers have changed (one
+line added) and size too (the header part). You can look at
+the headers found by imapsync by using the --debug option
+(and search for the message on both part). The way to avoid
+this problem is by using options --skipheader and
+--skipsize, like this (avoid headers beginning whith the
+string "X-"):
+
+ imapsync ... --skipheader '^X-' --skipsize
+
+You can use --skipheader only one time; if you need to skip
+several different headers use the "or" perl regex caracter
+which is "|". Example:
+
+ imapsync ... --skipheader '^X-|^Status|^Bcc'
