Nothing to do with the Date: header. If Dovecot is rejecting the mail
based on the content, it's b0rked. The relevant time is meta-data about
the mail, the internal date, which should be preserved. OfflineIMAP
should be preserving this meta-data.
Two blurbs of cut&paste follow; the first is evidence with which to LART
software authors, whilst the second is a simple IMAP transaction showing
a FETCH retrieving the internal date. (The OpenBSD 4.0 announcement
email).
FETCH can retrieve multiple pieces of data; there are three
macro-equivalent names defined in RFC3501, "ALL", "FAST" & "FULL"; all
three include "INTERNALDATE". If that's not a big bloody hint that this
is data that clients should care about, well ... gaah.
RFC 3501 (IMAP) has:
-----------------------------< cut here >-------------------------------
2.3.3. Internal Date Message Attribute
The internal date and time of the message on the server. This
is not the date and time in the [RFC-2822] header, but rather a
date and time which reflects when the message was received. In
the case of messages delivered via [SMTP], this SHOULD be the
date and time of final delivery of the message as defined by
[SMTP]. In the case of messages delivered by the IMAP4rev1 COPY
command, this SHOULD be the internal date and time of the source
message. In the case of messages delivered by the IMAP4rev1
APPEND command, this SHOULD be the date and time as specified in
the APPEND command description. All other cases are
implementation defined.
