"date" (sent time) and "received" (when recipient mailbox reached) are the same, but should not be
While a few cases exist when the sent time and the received time are the same (as it happened the same second), very oft in practice these two are not the same.
Thunderbird shows "date" (sent time) and "received" (when recipient mailbox reached) as the same, but should not be for messages where there is a difference (of a few hours) between the two (which can easily happen from mailing lists.
The sent time "date" is the one that is correctly shown as the time stamp of the outgoing email time. The "received" should be parsed from the uppermost part of the header.
When will this be fixed?

I am not even aware of there being a bug.
Well there does appear to be a bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=402594
And an add-on https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/imap-received-date/?src=cb-dl-toprated
It is truly amazing what Google can do.

Even with that addon, it still shows the "date" (sent time) and the "received" (when recipient mailbox reached) as the same.
Did you run "repair" on your folders as suggested in the add-on's webpage?
It is working correctly here.
Awesome addons IMAP Received Date Super Date Format
The repair worked
And I found out, that switching off the 'date' column allows for sorting by received date! So what the author mentions as caveat, #2 is circumventable ;)
Awesome guys, love you!!!
