This is a client matter - it has nothing to do with IMAP or
synchronizing.
When I use two clients (my own MacBook while having breakfast, and
another
Mac later at work), of course they end up with different "Fetched"
timestamps for the same email. But that's exactly what I want -
find out
when THIS client got to see the email for the first time.
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).
That's what the traditional Sent/Received timestamps are for.
There's technically no reason both can't be supported, although it
would
complicate the interface,
I don't see how adding a third Fetched date to Sent/Received
complicates the interface.
The user already can choose whether to see Sent, Received, or both.
Just log the date, and give the user the option to show another field.
