Surely you can't expect me to do any real work to fix an issue that
probably only affects me!  :)  I was hoping you'd just magically know
of an internal switch in your code that you could flip to get this
working.  Thanks for you help and quick replies, but I just don't have
the time to dig any further into this now.

In case I can help someone else that stumbles across this thread I'll
add a few more things I found out about the gmail imap upload date
issue.

I found a short ruby script which was used to solve this problem:
http://wonko.com/post/ruby_script_to_sync_email_from_any_imap_server_to_gmail
Based on the comments it sounds like imapsync works correctly now too.

Since I'm only using mbsync to backup my gmail hopefully I'll never
have to worry about restoring (pushing) my email up to gmail.  But if
I do have to push, I do have an inconvenient workaround for this
issue:
-Use Evolution to copy the the emails from mbsync's maildir format to
mbox format
-Copy these mbox files to Thunderbird.
-Use Thunderbird to upload all the mbox email to gmail via imap
(Thunderbird's imap upload sets the date correctly, whereas
Evolution's imap upload does not).
