Dovecot/Pigeonhole Issue (UTC modtime instead of localtime)

Well. I tried several ways of telling the lda or whatever is setting up
the INTERNALDATE to use the CEST +0200. 
Although it is already setup on the server via a symlink
from /etc/localtime to /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin, I defined it
at several stages, for example globally and for the account of the
virtual user of the mails. But all of it to no avail.
It just keeps getting a mtime in the past.

So I actually had to patch the sources. I commented out the utime calls
of src/lib-storage/index/maildir/maildir-save.c .
This way the file gets the correct mtime.

Still the clients saw the wrong INTERNALDATE.
I also had to completely disable writing a index.cache by dovecot.

Both are not ideal in my opinion. I'd still prefer a real solution.
But for the moment I had to do it because my users became "desperate".

If you have any ideas left, please tell me. I'd still like to here them.

Thank you.

Greetings
