[Davmail-users] Thunderbird+DAVMAIL+Outlook: messages not displaying received time

[Paul A. V. <pv...@wi...>]

Hi,

I use Thunderbird (version 102.10 as of now) with DAVMAIL utility (version 6.1.0-3423 ) for my Office 365 email account. It seems that recently (last month or so?) I have the issue that when someone uses Outlook's delayed-send option to send me an email, it shows up in my Thunderbird INBOX by the sent date, not the received date. I tried changing columns from "DATE" to "RECEIVED" but that did not fix the issue. Using "ORDER RECEIVED" is a little better, but seems to move other messages around in ways that don't make sense either.

Looking at the header of an email I sent to myself with the delayed send feature of Outlook, I see a field listed as "DATE" which includes the time I wrote the message:

Date: Sat, 29 Apr 2023 18:05:16 +0000
In the first set of fields of the header is where the received time seems to be;

Received: from <stuff I deleted>.outlook.com <more stuff I deleted> by <more stuff>namprd04.prod.outlook.com<http://namprd04.prod.outlook.com> with HTTPS; Sat, 29 Apr 2023 22:00:13 +0000
Outlook parses this all fine and displays by received date/time.

I don't know what Thunderbird is looking for to use as the "Received" date. In Thunderbird with the above message, using the "Received" column in the message list pane shows the sent time (as does the "Date" column). If anyone can suggest a fix for this I would be most grateful.

(Note: it is possible that the origin of the issue is the increasing use of the delayed-send feature at my organization rather than a change in software, but regardless of that, if there is a way to change the behavior to really use the received time instead of the sent time I'd appreciate knowing it.)

Thanks,

-Paul
