Time Stamp difference in mail received
-
One email popped up in middle of already read messages and we were wondering why.
On the time stamp of inbox, it shows 9:25am but when viewing source of the email, it shows 9:45am.
What would be causing that issue? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
We are using LookOut Theme and Version 24.5
Thank you.

There are two Date/Time values that can be used to sort messages. There is the Date header and the Received time.
The Date header is added by the email client that is sending the message and is usually the current date/time when the sender clicks Send, but it does not have to be the current date/time.
The Received time used the date/time the message was received by your server. This prevents messages sent from
computers with incorrect dates from appearing out of order when sorting by date.What is the value of the Date header of the message?
What is the Date/Time value stamped in the Received header that is closest to the top of the message?
In the MDaemon\WorldClient\WorldClient.ini file, do you have "UseReceivedDate=Yes" in the [Special] section?
If the Date header shows 9:25, and the Received headers show 9:45, it could be caused by an incorrect time on the sending client, or delays in processing mail. For example, if the sending server took 20 minutes to send the message to your server.
If the date header shows 9:45 and the Received headers show 9:25, it could be an incorrect time on the sending client.
