IMAP message date is date of upload

Why does the message list for IMAP folders identify the date of the
message as the date it was uploaded to the IMAP server? I migrated a
load of mail to a new IMAP server and all the messages are listed as
having the same date in the message list. When I view the source, all
the dates are correct.

Its because, as far as the IMAP account in Entourage is concerned, the 'date
received' is the date when it was uploaded.

The work-round is to list by 'date sent' rather than 'date received' - this
will list correctly.
