    Greetings PEP-Crew & Users,

    faced a strange behavior today.
    Installed PEP-Mail app from fdroid (f-droid.org/en/packages/security.pEp/ - Version 1.0.209.withoutKeysync (19) - Added on 2018-09-06) and setup my standard mail account.
    Made this i noticed an unusual sort behavior with messages beeing resorted.
    It looks like not the sort order has been changed but the incoming date of some messages on the IMAP server when digging deeper in what happend.
    Send date seems note to be changed.

    As result some old mails are displayed as more recent then they are ...

    Anyone else with that "sort by fortune" behavior?

    Random occurences that can't be reliably reproduced are the enemy of a fast solution.
    Do the messages that were modified have anything in common compared to the others? Were they signed, encrypted, had attachments, encrypted attachments, attached private or public keys, shared the same sender , were they send from other pep users or certain e-mail clients or something else?

    Is the new timestamp close to or equal to the date you fetched the e-mails from the server?
