I'd started taking this offline because it's not entirely on-topic for
info-cyrus, but I realize that it has broad impact...

You need the syncinternaldates. Did you do a sync already without
that option? You need to toast the destination and resync it to get
the dates fixed...
--syncinternaldates stopped working at imapsync 1.200 (current is
1.204), as a side effect of the append_string->append_file change
suggested by John Capo and Florin Andrei earlier in this thread, on Dec
26, 2006. That change was made to avoid memory exhaustion, see
http://www.mail-archive.com/info-cyrus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg31296.html
The underlying problem is that at least as of Mail::IMAPClient 2.2.9,
the append_file function doesn't handle INTERNALDATE at all.
A bunch of people here have talked about minor patches to
Mail::IMAPClient. Has anyone added the $d argument to append_file and
verified functionality?
Most clients display Date: header, but some may show or use
INTERNALDATE. For example, the Zimbra web interface is incapable of
showing or sorting by Date:.
