When the destination storage format is maildir, the mailboxes are not the same. I checked the contents of the maildir, in the .toto/cur/ directory. What I see is the files having correct mtime (I also checked their contents). But when I use pine, and its arrival sort, to look into this 'toto' folder, the last message received is as the top.
I also noticed that viewing the same Maildir mailbox with a dovecot server, and with a courier-imap server, with arrival sorting, does not produce the same results in my MUAs (Mozilla 1.7.3 and Pine 4.61).
It sounds like the arrival sorting means sorting by message's UID, and that Dovecot doesn't give UIDs to messages in same order as their timestamp is. What version of Dovecot are you using? I think I fixed this once in 0.99.x series, I guess it might have broken at least in 1.0-tests..
