Sorry for taking this long to reply, it always takes so much effort to turn on my Windows computer :)

I cannot reproduce this. I have my server and workstation set to GMT+3 and copying message from Dovecot to OE6 local folder and back keeps the message date the same.

Or actually it looks like IMAP -> local folder copies using the message's Date field rather than IMAP's INTERNALDATE which Received-field shows.

I'm not sure if this could be Dovecot's or OE6's fault .. Has anyone else seen timestamps going wrong when copying?

Can anyone please confirm this and let me know, as I am not subscribed to the list.

It actually never made it to list because it was decided to be spam (mostly due to being HTML).
