My mail provider had problems yesterday, so I'm getting mail from yesterday night today morning and it seems that aerc reports actual arrival times from yesterday, while gmail shows the time it actually arrived in the inbox, so this seems to be the "standard". I'm guessing aerc uses the date header while most providers use the timestamp of the file? I tried using touch to change a file's access time, but I don't think mbsync is picking that up. But anyway, if you want to original arrival times it should be in the raw email's date header, I just don't know how to sync it with imap.
