Take to heart my comment about web mail clients. At today's prices for
bits on disks IMAO Web Mail clients are not worth the price of their
storage for the executable file.
Even Outlook Express, which I use, is faster and sorts by either
received date or sent date apparently with correct regard for time
zone for the sending time. And I'm not one for kicking stone walls
about slow email presentation tools when I can use something that
reads from its cache on disk.

I've used Horde/IMP for ever but is there a commonly regarded better
quality web based IMAP client then?

When using a web client like IMP from Horde it seems the Date
header is kept
in the original format and never converted to my local timezone. I
figure that
if I converted the Date to my local timezone I would have people
leaving
messages in the future that always sit at the top of my Inbox. For
instance
it's still the 8th here in CDT but elsewhere it's the 9th and
those messages
now sit at the top of the list of messages to be read.
Is there anybody here who chooses to convert Date: to their local
timezone and
to store the original date in say X-Original-Date: or something in
order to
ensure that you have a last in first seen approach to managing
your email?
So youd record Date: in terms of Date Received in your local
timezone not just a
local time zone conversion of the original date.
There is an ancient observation that goes something like this, "If
kicking that brick wall hurts your foot, stop kicking the wall." If
IMP has a fault THAT dramatic what other faults lurk below its hood?
There is no way to make the conversion in SpamAssassin. There are
ways within the standard C libraries that IMP could incorporate if
its developers either had the time or the brains to do so. You might
be able to gen up a futility that would allow a tool like procmail
to perform that modification. But it might eat more of your time
than finding a higher quality web mail wazzit.
