Sent date is wrong???

Get a few e-mail everyday with the "sent" date/time way off of correct
date/time. This started last week.

The "funny" thing is that I have several from my son-in-law that are the
correct date/time(2 this morning) but the one I just opened had wrong
date/time, 5/20/2023 1:55AM.

Just got back from lunch, opened OE, had 23 e-mails and 5 had wrong
date/time. The ones that are off are all off with same date (i.e.
5/20/2023).

Important or not?

thanks,

L.

The time stamp is put on by the server. If it continues you could call them,
but it is probably known and being fixed.

The only thing that would be important is if you save the messages by order
of received, they will be out of order.

Each mail messages has multiple time stamps. You can see these in File,
Properties, Details.

When you look at the list of messages in Microsoft IE3 Internet Mail or
IE4+ Outlook Express, the Received time is when the message was received
by your ISP's mail server. The server supplies the time. This is the
first (top most) of possibly several "Received:" lines in the message
header. Each mail server that a message passes through adds its own
Received line. These are in reverse order, so that the bottom most one
listed is the first server that received the message from the sender.

When you open or print a message, the time displayed is from the
sender's PC when he wrote the message, not necessarily when he
transmitted it (depends on the mail client). The time comes from his
PC. This is the "Date:" line in the message header.

Thanks.

Didn't happened yesterday or today so maybe it's fixed.
