Wrong date on downloaded messages

Using version 2.6.7225.0

When first downloading messages on POP3 server, eM Client downloads all messages,
which is fine,except for one thing , the dates are wrong on all messages.
Date Received lists the download date ,not the date of the message itself.
This creates an enormous problem.
As part of a backup strategy i leave all valid mail on the server,which can run into several
thousand messages.
Not having the actual received date of the messages creates an unholy mess.

In addition, let’s say I select a mail check at 10 min intervals, eM Client will dowload all 2000-plus messages again,rather than just new mail.

Hope you have some good solutions to these problems :wink:

TIA,
Pete

Hello,
please just use column named Sent instead of Received. You can add columns by right mouse click on header area of main list.

Hi Michael,
Thanks for the follow-up and your suggestion.
Yes,the Sent column does reflect the original date,but to be honest,
the logic escapes me.Why not call a spade “a spade” ? and rename
Sent to Received and the present Received column to Downloaded?That would make a lot more sense to me and I suspect ,to most people.
Having said that, I think eM Client is a very nice application and if the kinks are worked out, would help a lot of people with their mail.
BTW,is there any way I can edit the name on the column header?
IOW, is there a column config file that can be edited manually?
Thanks again for your advice.
Pete.
