Outlook should use IMAP's INTERNALDATE, which are taken from maildir
files' mtime timestamps. If these timestamps are correct but they're not
showing correctly in Outlook, I'd guess Outlook is caching them
internally. One way to fix this would be to change UIDVALIDITY to force
a coplete resync. You can do this by modifying the second number in
dovecot-uidlist file.

Filenames don't really matter.

Yea. The first number is the UNIX timestamp, but this is done only to
make maildir filenames unique.

Doesn't change anything.
