[SUMMARY] Re: Fix dates on mail received when system date was wrong

[Lee Sanders]

Special thanks to Patrick Welche and Ken Murchison who suggested the
"reconstruct" command. 

This regenerated the indexes as I wanted and it pulled the correct dates
in from the email messages.

Thanks Again Everyone.
