I have three messages that according to the top received header arrived at "Fri, 26 Feb 2021 15:01:40 +0100". Last night, all three decided to change their date (as displayed in the Date column) to "01/05/2021 20:25". I tried enabling the Received column header, but that showed the same info. Where does Thunderbird get/store these silly dates? Can I correct them?

It get these silly dates from the message header. The Date: header specifically.
