How to sort emails according to date received by the server and not the computer time

Sorting by server received date is only possible if the IMAP protocol is used to download the messages. The POP3 protocol doesn’t offer the information about server’s received date for particular message, only the sender’s (possibly faked) date is available.

Sorry,don’t mean to be unkind,but that’s a load of BS.I have used many email clients and all used POP3 for downloading messages and they get the original msg date correct.Only eM Client displays this errand behavior.
