Details

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070725 Firefox/2.0.0.6 Build Identifier: Eudora currently has a field only for date/time sent which, as I understand it, relies on the accuracy of the sender's clock. I've overlooked mail in the past because the listed sent date was wrong. One should be able to display and sort mail by the date/time received, based on one's own clock. This feature is available, for example, in Microsoft Outlook. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

Thanks for adding to Thunderbird, which I'm now using. TBird allows one to sort by order received, but this isn't a good alternative to a date/time received field, since the order received changes whenever the message is moved to another folder.
