INTERNALDATE one hour in future for sent message

[Jim Brett]

INTERNALDATE (hence received date?) one hour in future for sent 
message.  I realize that a received date on a message in sent folder 
doesn't really have meaning but, if a user moves from sent to inbox (or 
trash), then clients (including outlook and outlook express) sort by 
received date which is consistently one hour in the future which bothers 
our QA department.

Version: Cyrus IMAP4 v2.2.12 [ESMTP Postfix (2.2.1) "Brand X"]

I've searched cyrus wiki plus web but haven't found an answer.  From 
what I can tell, setting of the received date for sent message is in the 
sphere of influence of the IMAP server. 

Steps to recreate: user sends mail via our telephone user-interface to 
themself (resulting in one message each in sent and inbox folder).  
telnet to solaris box and select/fetch info.  Sent at 11:27 but 
INTERNALDATE for sent message is 12:27 (one hour in future). Values for 
message in inbox both 11:27.

// Is there some timezone setting/issue that we're missing.  This seems 
most likely.
Note that INTERNALDATE for sent message ends with "-400" while date in 
envelope info ends with "0400 (EDT)".  Not sure if doesn't matter, if 
there's a cyrus internal timezone setting we need to set/change or 
whether, if machine changed from EDT to EST, INTERNALDATE would be 
correct for sent mail i.e. would work 6 months per year.   <- Update: I 
did try that and it works correctly so there is a timezone issue somewhere.

// We're not sure if it's us or if something else isn't involved ...

Though isn't Javamail still responsible for the APPEND to the mail 
folder? If so, it could still be to blame.

// Data. Message in question sent at 11:27:45
