String msgFileName = ".\\assets_sjm\\test.msg";
try (FileInputStream fileInputStream = new FileInputStream(msgFileName)) {
Email email = EmailConverter.outlookMsgToEmail(fileInputStream);
System.out.println("Sent Date: " + email.getSentDate());

When I open the file in Outlook the sent date is 04.06.2024 15:31

If I download the mail and open it in Outlook the correct sent date is displayed. When I drag the file on to Outlook the mail is sorted with the expected sent date, if I export it again from my Outlook and put in our software the correct date is shown and running the example from above the output is
