You could try using a better mail program.

I use Outlook Express in IMAP mode. I have problems with the date as well.
When I move messages between folders the received date and time changes to the current time.  The problem doesn't happen on an exchange server.  The workaround I found is to change the displayed fields in Outlook to Sent from Received.  The only problem with this is the Sent field doesn't take into account timezones.  fyi - to change right click on the header and choose columns.

This works in both Outlook and Outlook Express.
