That depends on whether or not there is a header in these messages 
telling MailMate that the messages are “new”. (I kind of doubt that 
when “Date Received” doesn't work.)

But IMAP servers have a concept known as INTERNALDATE. If MailMate made 
that available (maybe integrating it with “Date Received”) then it 
might work, but MailMate doesn't currently do that. Using this date can 
be problematic for other reasons since it might also be updated when 
moving messages -- at least when doing it with some email clients. (I 
also seem to recall buggy servers not handling INTERNALDATE very well 
when moving messages.)

I cannot think of any other ways which might work.
