email question: After receiving emails over a 2 day period, I can read emails from today and yesterday, after which all emails are then stored under the common date, 31.07. 18.
It doesnt matter if I use apple mail or outlook express the same storage glitch occurs.
iMac Line (2012 and Later)
What you mean by “stored under the common date” is not clear to me. Could you elaborate on that?
by default, Apple Mail does not rename nor file nor create mailboxes (folders) using dates, absent some local scripting rules. Alternatively, rules running on your particular mail server and mail account can reorganize mail messages using vadious details.
If multiple mail clients are all showing a specific name or mailbox (folder) or such, then it’s somehow common, or happening in a common way. it’s probably then a rule running on one system that is managing the messages on the mail server and thus visible to all clients, replicated rules, or something running in the mail server.
But again, I’m not sure what you mean by that common date.
If the arrival dates on the messages are all getting changed, that seems most likely to be a corruption arising on the mail server.
Might open Sys Prefs>Language & Region>Advanced...>Dates, ^ choose Restore Defaults.
