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?

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