I believe Outlook store the date of the appointment in the
INTERNALDATE field on the article on the IMAP server. That field is
not available to Gnus, I think.

What are "linux schedulers"?  It's easy to write something that
iterate through your Schedule mailbox and do something:

(with-current-buffer (imap-open "mail.server.com")
  (when (imap-mailbox-select "Schedule")
    (dolist (uid (imap-search "UNDELETED"))
      (imap-fetch uid 'FULL)
      (message "Internal date: %s" (imap-message-get uid 'INTERNALDATE))
      (message "Envelope: %s" (imap-message-get uid 'ENVELOPE))
      (message "Body: %s" (imap-message-get uid 'BODY))))
        ...etc...
  (imap-close))
