Re: Erronous Recieved Date



Windows version?

Is it a POP3 account?

Your current Identity may be damaged, especially if its the default Main Identity. Try one or more of your accounts in a new Named Identity (File>Identities>Add new identity). Assuming all is well, import messages from the old Identity before deleting it (File>Identities>Manage Identities).

If the problem persists in the new identity, disable email scanning by your anti-virus application to see if it may be the cause.

If still no joy, the problem most likely is not on your end.

To avoid such corruption in future:

Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local folders created for this purpose.

Empty Deleted Items folder daily.

Disable Background Compacting [N/A in SP2] and frequently perform a manual compact of all OE folders while "working offline". More at http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/files/maintain.htm.

Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also cause such corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection.

I am having some trouble with my message recieved date being wrong in the
inbox. It says that it is the year 1936. It is not a problem with the
internet service provider or mailer, because I am on a network and none of
the other computers have this problem. The taskbar date and BIOS date are
correct. When you open the Email, the date shows correct. I have no idea
what could be causing this and any help would be greatly appreciated
