"Date" vs "Received" columns showing the same date/time
Dear Thunderbird Community,
First, thanks for any help and guidance anyone might be willing to provide.
I have an issue where the "Date" and "Received" columns (in my Inbox) always show the same exact date/time even when the message source shows a different date/time for the "Date:" header verses the "Received:" header.
I know this has been asked before, but the suggestion of adding "Received" (without the quotes) to mailnews.customDBHeaders, restarting, and then repairing a folder did not work for me. I am on build 128.7.1esr (64-bit).
For example, I emailed a message to myself, selected to send later, waited a few minutes, then released it from the Outbox. When the email came in, it showed "2/23/2025, 11:27 AM" for both the "Date" and the "Received" columns. If I view the email source (some data removed for clarity) I see:
X-Mozilla-Status: 0001 X-Mozilla-Status2: 00000000 Received: from 127.0.0.1 by atlas-production.v2-mail-prod1-gq1.omega.yahoo.com pod-id atlas--production-gq1-dcf999469-vgzhb.gq1.yahoo.com with HTTP; Sun, 23 Feb 2025 16:32:18 +0000 Return-Path: <XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX> . . .

From above, the "Date:" header has "Sun, 23 Feb 2025 11:27:45 -0500" which is correctly displayed in the Date column as "2/23/2025, 11:27 AM" however, the latest "Received:" header has "Sun, 23 Feb 2025 16:32:18 +0000" (which is 11:32 AM Eastern) but the Received column shows the time as 11:27 AM instead of 11:32 AM.
Might anyone have a thought as to why I can't get Thunderbird to show the correct Received date/time?
Thanks.
