I've tried using touch to change the timestamps of the mails in my inbox (in ~/Maildir/cur) but this hasn't had any effect. I've also tried deleting ~/Maildir/dovecot.index and ~/Maildir/dovecot.index.cache but this hasn't made any difference either.
Updating the files' mtime timestamps and removing dovecot.index.cache does update them from Dovecot's point of view. I guess your problem is that Outlook already cached the mails locally with wrong timestamps, in which case the easiest fix would be to change uidvalidity field in dovecot-uidlist (second field in first line) file to force a resync.
