Poco's handling of dd/mm/yyyy date format

[elshiftos]

Hi,
I am currently using v2.6 and the date always appears in the US mm/dd/yyyy format, in the date column. Is there any way of changing this to the UK format?
I have tried v3.* but that seems even more confused and lists mail in both formats. v3 also has blank in the date column for mail that's over a month old.

TIA to anyone that can shed some light on this problem

I don't have any help for your v2.6 installation. However, for your 3.1 installation, you might check out Options | Reading Mail | Index options. There are several ways to display dates.

Regarding the display in UK format, I believe Poco just uses the system date display setting. I don't recall any way to show dates one way in the rest of Windows, and another way in Poco.

Thanks Frazmi,
Unfortunately, none of the options you mention fix the problem, even though I am persisting with 3.1 at the moment.
At the top of the preview pane the date is always displayed in the correct format (dd/mm/yyyy), the sent column however seems to be confusing the day and month on some messages, therefore listing them in the wrong order.
Also, can you explain why some of the messages have a blank in the 'sent' column?

Thanks

Hi elshiftos,

Also, can you explain why some of the messages have a blank in the 'sent' column?

Did you do an import of emails?
Maybe this script can help you to restore the blank received dates.
Also take a look here on how to setup the script.

I hope this helps!

Yes it was an import of mail from 2.6. I was following the script instructions and just happened to compress mailboxes, lo and behold, all the dates now seem correct and there are no blanks!

Thanks all
