Inbox Time Stamp

[EasilyConfused]

I'm using Entourage 2004. Until a couple months ago, when I saw the messages listed in my Inbox, the time stamp in the upper right-hand corner indicated the time the e-mail was sent. Now that time stamp indicates the time that I downloaded the e-mail. As a result, all the e-mails downloaded at any given time have the same time stamp. I am now required to open the message in order to see what time it was sent.

What changed? My wife's version of Entourage (bought & set up at the same time) still shows the stamp the "old way." Our settings appear to be the same.

Any thoughts?

This is a per-user feature. Right-click the column headers and select
"Sent" from the contextual menu and you'll see the "Sent" column. You
might want to right-click again and deselect "Received".

Hope this helps!

Terrific! It worked! Although a simple "click" did the trick- there is no right-click for Mac. I had assumed that the "Sent" feature was the same as "Sent Items," not a viewing option.

It's the little things that goof you up.

Thanks, Bill.

there is no right-click for Mac

I've had a right-click mouse on my Mac since at least 1993. Have had
five buttons and a scroll wheel, too. Every corporate, and most every
academic user that I deal with has at least a two-button mouse.

OS X supports multiple button mice natively. And Apple ships a
multi-button mouse, so it's time to acknowledge that the day of the
single button mouse is drawing to a close.

And if you still have a one-button mouse, control-click will (in nearly all
applications) act like a right click.
