You might be able to do what you want using the ImportExportTools
extension:
https://freeshell.de/~kaosmos/mboximport-en.html
This extension lets you export all messages in a folder to individual
files. The filenames are customisable with time and date prefixes.
Having exported all the messages, you might well then be able to
re-import using the same tool to import in time and date order (i.e.
alphabetical order in the directory).
I've not tried doing this but it looks like it *should* work.
That's awesome. I will certainly try it!!
But if it does not work, then Cameron's (and others)
suggestion to use mutt cli mail client might be the way to go.
