Describe the bug
After syncing a Gmail account into OpenArchiver, there are several older emails that appear within OA as having been sent on the day of the ingestion.

To Reproduce

  1. Add ingestion for Gmail account
  2. Wait for full sync (some 50.000 messages, took ~30 hours)
  3. See mail at the top with current date that have been sent 15 years ago

Expected behavior
Emails get sorted as per their date header

System:

OA 0.4.0 via Docker on Slackware linux

Relevant logs:

Nothing relevant found in the logs, if specific items are needed, I can take another look.

Additional context

The downloaded .eml has the correct date in the headers.
