I was going to suggest that you dump the savedbefore dates on all your messages to see what Dovecot thinks your message's timestamps are. I tried it out myself and was surprised to find *all* messages in *any* mailbox I looked at gave the same timestamp -- probably that of the latest message.
For example,
# doveadm -f tab fetch -u {user} "uid date.saved" mailbox Trash uid date.saved 23624 2018-07-18 14:50:03 23625 2018-07-18 14:50:03 [... 3657 lines removed ...] 27295 2018-07-18 14:50:03 27296 2018-07-18 14:50:03 27297 2018-07-18 14:50:03
I wrote about a related issue several years back, starting with
https://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2012-March/134706.htmlI'm not sure how I got over this and got usable "date.saved" cache values, and why it stopped working. Maybe I need to set something like
mail_always_cache_fields = date.saved
mail_cache_fields = date.savedto force date.saved to be cached.

You may or may not have the same problem I do -- your timestamps actually differ, whereas mine are all the same.
