Binary package hint: thunderbird
Since the last Thunderbird update (under Ubuntu 8.04, regularly updated) all my incoming mail land in a totally unpredictable date slot, about a month back (last one was found at 2008.09.02 instead of 2008.10.08) ! I have to scan my mails to find new incoming docs. I hope this is not a general bug as it is frustrating. When the time display changes to the full date, the mails appear to regain the appropriate date slot.
Not being a specialist, but having started with Linux just recently, I am unable to answer the questions below. At 73 it is not as easy to assimilate all this new technology.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner.
There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test the current Ubuntu development version (10.04). If you can test it, and it is still an issue, we would appreciate if you could upload updated logs by running apport-collect 280016, and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.
