I am trying to figure out why my mail clients are not correctly showing me the received date versus the date header date. I am using Dovecot 1.1B9. Here is a copy of the rawlog from Dovecot when I started up the client. Is Dovecot supposed to be sending the received date and the date header during this conversation?

I am using Maildir and the date and time of those files from "ls -l" are "2007-11-30 16:48" and "2007-11-30 16:49". The mail client (Thunderbird) showed the received date/time and date date/time as "2007-11-30 3:24" and "2007-11-30 3:25"

Thanks for any help you can offer me.

That's usually depends on MUA. And as I remeber there is debates in TB bugzilla - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216033
