When your MUA accesses the mail over IMAP, it does not see the Maildir
file's mtime. Your MUA should use the Date header in the e-mail, or the
date/time when it first sees the message (f.i. when not Date header is
available). Failing to do so can only be a client issue. Not using the
timezone you set up in your profile or environment also sounds like a
OS/client issue.

How do messsages that display this issue look in another MUA with IMAP
access?
