Description Milan Crha 2014-02-14 07:36:02 UTC 
Moving this from a downstream bug report:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1065038

I copied emails over from my old imap server to gmail. I noticed the dates in gmail were incorrect, most of them showed the date the e-mails were copied. When I copy the same folder in Thunderbird the dates are displayed correctly. This problem has also been described here:
https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/gmail/0PU1gQuXNi8


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Drag and drop emails between two different imaps server
2. Check the date in gmail

As the group thread mentions, the APPEND command can have an optional date/time parameter, which is used as an internal date/time of the message on the server, which the GMail interface seems to be using in certain folder views. See:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3501.html#section-6.3.11
Comment 2 Milan Crha 2014-02-14 11:07:33 UTC 
There was a TODO in the code to use the message's date/time when calling APPEND, thus I completed the TODO:
