dovecot - Apr 2006 - Test migration (IMAP copy) and INTERNALDATE?

We're trying some migration tests ... from CommuniGate to Dovecot.  The
migration program does an APPEND into the new mailbox:

src>: a0 FETCH 2900 (FLAGS INTERNALDATE RFC822.PEEK)
src<: * 2900 FETCH (FLAGS (\Seen) INTERNALDATE "29-Aug-2005 18:36:54
+0000" RFC822 {1194157}
src<: )
dst>: bAPP APPEND "INBOX" (\Seen) "29-Aug-2005 18:36:54
+0000" {1194157}
dst<: + OK

It appears to be trying to set the message date... in this example, to 29
Aug 2005.

Dovecot seems to be ignoring it.

Am I doing something wrong, or does Dovecot not allow this?

With maildir? Seems to be working with me..:

x append "INBOX" (\Seen) "29-Aug-2005 18:36:54 +0000" {10}
+ OK
From: foo

* 40 EXISTS
* 1 RECENT
x OK Append completed.
x fetch * internaldate
* 40 FETCH (INTERNALDATE "29-Aug-2005 21:36:54 +0300")
x OK Fetch completed.

The date is stored in file's mtime field. What filesystem do you use?
Maybe it's breaking this somehow.
