Hello,

in order to get the date received by the server, you have to use the
INTERNALDATE stuff of IMAP.
To do this, you have to use the low-level API of IMAP.

in libetpan/src/low-level/imap

You have to perform a FETCH (mailimap_fetch) command with the specific
INTERNALDATE (mailimap_fetch_att with type =3D
MAILIMAP_FETCH_ATT_INTERNALDATE).
Then, in the "struct mailimap_msg_att_static" part of the returned
structure, you'll get this.

see mailimap_types.h, mailimap_types_helper.h and mailimap.h
