It seems unlikely that it can.

You're assuming the server stores the messages in .msg format. Mine
does but not all servers do. The server serves TB! the messages, i.e., the
contents of the various message files or the clip of a part of a file
if all messages are stored in a single file per IMAP folder. I don't
see how the properties of each message base or message file come into
it.

The received time is something generated locally based on the time the
message is added to a TB! message base. It has never had anything to
do with the messages themselves and information contained within them
at the time of import/download/transfer.
