Until now, I have been successfully checking (using Perl Mail::IMAPClient) for "today's" emails using the IMAP SENTON spec (per RFC3501: SENTON <date>
Messages whose [RFC-2822] Date: header (disregarding time and
timezone) is within the specified date.) As of Monday (June 11, 2012) Gmail no longer seems to return dates with the header date (local time), but rather the internal date (Which is stored in Pacific Daylight Time) therefore many of my EDT sent emails don't show up in the search (Since as far as the internal date is concerned, they arrived "yesterday" - I've tried every workaround, including a HEADER Date: search, but it looks like Gmail does support the HEADER search or the TEXT search. Any ideas? -

I implemented a work-around using the TEXT search (TEXT does indeed work in gmail.) - I just happened to have dates imbedded in the email body. Still wondering why the SENTON search will not check the neader date, but only the internal date (the ON search is supposed to do internal date)
