File sent is exactly as downloaded using some crawler script. I put it
in a Maildir folder on a server, then it was downloaded via IMAP. But
both files, on the server and in imap cache, are the same.

Usually I just download a mailbox formatted mail archive, then import
via File -> Import mbox menu entry, but this is from googlegroups
downloaded with a script, which prodices one file per mail message or
so. Importing it one message a time would be tedious, so I simply put
those files to server and proceeded.

I don't think so, I did not drop the files into local cache, as written
above.

No local mailbox, everything is in IMAP storage on server.

Is what I wrote above enough? Anything else necessary to test or
reproduce?
