We were getting emails showing up in inboxes with an 'Unknown Date' on  
one of our production servers. On entering the emails the date is  
displayed as: 10-Oct-2008 10:10:37 GDT

After further inspection it appears to be horde doesn't recognize the  
timezone GDT which is a rare variation of British Summer time  
(BST)meaning Greenwich Daylight Time. The simple fix is just replace  
GDT with BST in the "Date: " line of the email. BST is recognized by  
IMP.

The mailer appears to be an old version of Lotus notes:

X-Mailer: Lotus Notes Release 6.5.2 June 01, 2004

I have not tested this in a later version of IMP, although will do  
when we upgrade our servers. I am also unsure whether this was my own  
configuration problem at stake although.
