Because they have no choice.  The IMAP protocol requires the server to 
return the time the message was received.  With mboxes, you do not know when 
message 5 of 17 was appended to the mbox file, therefore the only thing you 
can do is parse the Received: headers. 

With maildirs, you know exactly when the message was received.
