Date problem after migration

[Rob Mueller]

There's no really easy way, but this patch might help. Basically it parses 
the last Received: header to set the internal date.

The problem is if you apply it, you then have to reconstruct all your 
mailboxes to rebuild the cyrus.index with the new values.
