Microsoft Outlook email - View pane

Not in preview in Ol2003. I believe that is the only version that doesn't
show the date, but I haven't used the older versions in so long, I forget
for sure. :) You can either view it in the message list (since it's the
selected message, scrolling through the inbox to find the message shouldn't
be a big issue) or open it - or upgrade.

Diane,

You said "or open the message". Yes this does then show the date but
surely
this is such a fundamental part of an email that it should have been a
visible field in the preview of versions earlier than 2007?

regards,

Beemer

| No. You'll either need to hover or open the message. FWIW, 2007 adds the
| date field.

| Sorry Diane, its OL 2003. In my preview window I have a header
whcih
| shows
|
| Subject
| From
| To
| cc
| ----------------------------------------------------------------
|
| no date is shown.
|
| Hovering is only useful for me if the mail item is visible and
therefore
| highlighted in the list window. If I have say a hundred emails in the
list
| I
| would need to vertical scroll until I found the item shown in the
preview
| window. Hence I would prefer to see the date in the preview window.
|
| regards,
|

| | what version? If you have the header showing, you should see the
date
| (along
| | with subject, from, to)- or hover the mouse over the item in the
email
| | list - the date (and other info) displays in the popup.

| | When I'm viewing an email in the view pane there is no received
date
| | shown.
| | Can I add this field within the view pane. The inbox does show a
| date
| | but
| | this column moves and the mail being previewed may be "off the
| screen£"
| | and
| | its a pain to keep scrolling the inbox column just to find the
reived
| date
