Email Timestamp Mystery
Issue: User sends out email to an internal user Monday afternoon. Recipient does not receive the email until Tuesday Morning. Facts: Checked senders sent items and the timestamps shows the email was sent Monday afternoon.<o:p></o:p> Checked recipient inbox and the time stamp shows the Tuesday Morning Timestamp. The headers of the email was also checked and shows the Tuesday morning timestamp.<o:p></o:p> The email was searched for and found on the exchange server (2010) and the timestamp shows the Tuesday morning info.<o:p></o:p> The senders and recipient time zone was checked and is set correctly.<o:p></o:p> For the sender all other sent items are fine. I would like to point out this has happened in the past with only this sender and recipient.<o:p></o:p> This is where it gets interesting. When we look at the senders sent items from his computer the timestamp shows that he sent the email Monday afternoon. Now for the same user if we open his mailbox on another computer and look at his sent items we SEE that the email was sent Tuesday morning. Keep in mind we checked the time zone to make sure that is correct.<o:p></o:p> Any thoughts or suggestions on this would be appreciated <o:p></o:p>

Hi, Check the TimeZone for the affected user's mailbox: Get-MailboxRegionalConfiguration {username} | fl Look at the TimeZone property. By default this should be the same as the server. Also make sure that every servers are set with same time. Regards from ExchangeOnline | Windows Administrator's forums

Hi, If you are having Exchange 2007/2010 use check the messagetracking in EMS. Example: Get-transportserver | Get-MessageTrackingLog -Recipients somename@domain.com -Start 2012-08-21 | fl timestamp,eventid,Sender,recipients,messagelatency It will tell you when the message was submitted to Exchange and delivered to the recipients.Martina Miskovic
