thunderbird corrupting comcast email dates
New installations of Thunderbird corrupt Comcast email dates by replacing the send and receive dates in the email header with the timestamp the emails are downloaded. Therefore all the old Comcast emails erroneously sort to the top. This has been going on for years but the problem is ignored or denied when I have reported it in the past. It only happens with Thunderbird and not other email clients and it only affects emails sent from Comcast email addresses - "{...}@comcast.net". Thunderbird is incorrectly interpreting the send and receive dates on these emails when they are imported on installation. These are imap installations.

January 2019 I asked you to perform certain actions https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1247711, and here we are almost 2 years latter on exactly the same topic. I still think the issue is with the emails on the server. but you do not. But as you did not reply I think we must assume the last discussion ended because you abandoned it. Then we have your next question https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1323876 no information for anyone to even start to try and help you out.
Now we have this topic. Still no information on exactly what dates are in those message headers that you are sure Thunderbird is interpreting incorrectly. It would not surprise me in the slightest if @comcast did not even have a date header for a lot of their mails over the years. Have you check these mails have a valid Date: header that Thunderbird is displaying incorrectly? CTRL+U to access the message source.
