I am suffering from the very same problem. The problem is that most peoples' inboxes are sorted by date/time (of dispatch, not arrival), so when my Thunderbird sends a mail 1-2 days later, people miss it, because it is hidden between old mail somewhere on page 3 or 4 (in paginated inboxes) or a few pages above (in scrollable inboxes). I always get the same reaction, when I follow-up e.g. with a telephone call: "Ah yes, it's there. It's way up there. Must have missed it."diggeryo wrote:my issue when sending mail this way is this--the time stamp that the person who received the email sees is the time I clicked "Send Later" and it actually went into my "Outbox," not the time it left my "Outbox" and was actually sent. Is there any way to change this behavior?
Is there a way (config editor perhaps?) to tell Thunderbird to timestamp all outgoing mail with the time of sending (instead of the time last edited)? This would seem more logical to me anyway, because the recipient mainly wants to know, when the mail was sent (not when it was last edited).
Is there any solution in Thunderbird itself, sans add-on ?
