What Alex suggests is in my understanding showing the "received" time
as stamped by the pop server. TB, on the other hand, uses the time
when it (TB) receives the mail. Thus, it is currently quite consistent
- if annoying.
So, when importing mail, and only then, this option might make sense:
compromising consistency for usability. I don't think it is necessary
to make it one message = one file.
