The difference between 'date' and 'udate' seems to be rather more than just the
way they're formatted.
'date' is the date that was written in the headers by the sender's mail client, and
probably bears little to do with reality. It's dependent on your sender knowing what the
correct time is; it could be out by a few minutes, days, months or even years.
'udate' is the real date that the e-mail hit your IMAP server.
Use 'udate' if you want to do neat stuff like work out how much e-mail you get sent on a
daily basis - or, as I do, how much spam I get. Don't try it on 'date' unless you
like knowing that you've got negative numbers of e-mails every now and again!
