Copy message 72916 IMAP[[Gmail]/All Mail] -> MappedIMAP[[Gmail].All
Mail]:

error: APPEND command error: BAD ['Invalid internal date.']. Data: JEPB71 APPEND "[Gmail].All Mail" (\Seen) "09-Sep-2007 -6:33:06 -0500" {3721}\r\n


That date looks very much bogus to me. However, I have no idea where
that date is coming from, it's probably part of the email headers of
that message.
