I have seen some other similar questions. This is not the same issue as the symptoms/fixes don't match what I've found.

I have messages that show a date and time (for example today). They show same date and time in the 'Date' column and the 'Received' column. These dates are incorrect. They are incorrect vs the 'Delivery-date' header, they are incorrect vs. the timestamp at the end of the 'Received' header. I see absolutely no reference to the date I'm seeing in TB that correlates to the dates shown anywhere in the headers. I'm attaching a screencap of one such occurrence but there are many. In fact all the circled with same time stamp (column) are wrong vs. their headers.

This is btw on a freshly istalled (last night) TBird profile. I do have some of my extensions put back but I'm almost positive I saw this even before (was late and I was focused on getting TB back to usable state for Monday AM)

There is a discussion on how to display the correct Received column:

That was one of the things that came up in my search and I tried it and it did not work. Even tried compacting and rebuilding the mailbox and still not works. However I tried now the extension and that does seem to have worked (after another rebuild of the box). Not sure why teh manual fix doesn't work. I hate running extensions for things I "don't need".

It's also beyond shameful that a bug from TB 3 persists now in TB 56.

This team really needs to get it's head out of it's a##. They can't tell already they're losing market share? They can't see how many "workarounds" (core features and core bug fixes) are relegated to add-ons that eventually lose dev support/interest/time?

As a premier FOSS project, this project has become shameful.

Thanks for re-pointing me to the fix. I hope TB team get's their head out for their rears one day long enough to see how badly they've deviated from teh path.
