I'm not very familiar with Apple's Mail.app; I've been using Entourage
for years. I am temporarily forced to use Mail on a new MB Pro because
I am short one MS Office Mac license (have only six licenses, need
seven).

In the mail list the relative dates "today" and "yesterday" are fine,
and the times are all correct, but all mail before "yesterday" is dated
"01/05/08."

The system clock is right. Mail is received from four distinct servers,
..Mac and three POP servers, and the result is the same for all.

Huh?

TIA.

Is this the "Date Sent" or "Date Received" column?

Date Sent corresponds to the "Date:" header in the message. Date
Received is the timestamp in the uppermost "Received:" header. What do
you see if you look at the full headers?

It's the date received column. The message headers all show the correct
dates and times.

The "Date Received" column seems to display the date the mail was
imported into Mail.app. Use the "Mail Sent" column, it's more useful
anyway.

There's no indication that he imported the mail on January 5 or May 1,
and I doubt he'd wait until late June to post about it.
