The main reason for using imap is so that state is independent of
individual clients so I expect most users would rather use the
server's internal date for the message (which is usually the date the
server first saw the message, although it can be set by the client
when uploading via imap so that archives have the right date). There's
technically no reason both can't be supported, although it would
complicate the interface, so maybe Letters should track this, but only
expose it with a plugin?
