Dates of Received e-mail

When I receive e-mail from certain addresses it shows received dates that are way in the future, for instance 7/31/18. The dates are correct in my outlook but not in entourage.
Thoughts?

Sort by Sent and not Received. Sounds like the sender needs to reset his
clock or get a new battery.

I really think it is possibly an Entourage problem since they are received with correct dates in Microsoft Outlook. Also these e-mails are only from some of my contacts in the Federal Aviation Administration and I'm sure that their IT staff keeps their PC's maintained. This doesn't happen with all my contacts in the FAA just a handful of them.

If all other messages come in correctly, then Entourage is not the problem.
Again, sort by Sent and not received. If that is a problem then we need to
examine what is going wrong.

Outlook by default uses the Received Date and not the Sent Date. This
can also be changed in Entourage.

 

[Reynolds1961]

Sorting by sent works fine. It is only on messages received from these contacts and again the messages are fine when received with anything but Entourage.

 

[Reynolds1961]

But why does the date show as 2018 only in Entourage?

Check the headers and compare to one that's correct. Do you see the
difference. Under Message --> Source for Office 2008. Here are a couple of
examples.

Diane,

FWIW, I have two received messages that display SENT dates of 2018.

One was received on 8/20/2007, and that is the date shown in all date fields
under Internet Headers. Here are the Internet Headers for this message
(which actual e-mail addresses suppressed):
Received: from alnwmxc01.att.net ([12.102.252.81])
by worldnet.att.net (mtiwmxc14) with ESMTP

From: MathType <[email protected]>

Date: 8/20/2007 2:33:36 PM
Subject: MathType 6 is now available

If I turn off display of Internet Headers on this message, I see a date of
Tuesday, July 31, 2018 7:33 PM

The other message has a similar problem. In normal display, the sent date
and time is Tuesday, August 7, 2018 12:00 AM
but the Internet Header shows a date of 14/11/02
and a received date (at worldnet) of 14 Nov 2002.

Clearly, Entourage has some problems with certain combinations of dates and
messages. I'm using Ent. 2004 version 11.4.0 (080122) and this problem has
persisted through all versions since the first message arrived (so that must
have been Office X).

Thanks for the info Ed. I'll get these examples to the developers. If you
could "Forward as Attachment" your examples, that would cover anything they
might need.

I have forwarded them as attachments to your mvps address. Thanks for the
help.

I received. Thanks!!

 

[Reynolds1961]

I received. Thanks!!

I would be glad to forward you my e-mails that have the wrong dates if that would help.
Thanks,

The other ones I received from Ed were incorrectly formatted for RFC
standards. You can send yours, but about the only thing you can do when the
sender's format is incorrect is to sort by received.
