I'll have to check what the Received headers look like when I get home
since I didn't even think to check them.  Maybe that'll help determine
whether it's tb! or my IMAP server that's modifying things.

That's not quite what I was saying.  I'm no IMAP RFC wizard by any
means, but I'm pretty sure it's a standard command to set the SEEN
flag on a message.  Now tb! maintained whether or not a message was
read with my older POP account.  If it would import messages from its
own file format, the following would seem pretty straightforward:

(1) If the message is being added to a POP account, store it locally
with the same flags as in the imported file.
(2)If the message is being added to an IMAP account, set the SEEN flag
if the message was flagged as read in the message file.

I don't think this is a limitation per se as much as it is a limit
with the file import/export options tb! limits one to.

Ok, then if it is in fact tb! setting this time, the time shouldn't be
changed when I move it.  Moving between accounts should be as
transparent as moving between folders within a given account. 
Normally these times would be very close, so it's not a huge issue,
but if I have to manually filter for whatever reason, there can be a
rather large discrepency.
