mail timestamps set to download time

Hi, using entourage to download pop mail from yahoo, notice its
setting the time of the email to be the time I download the email, not
the time the email was received, is there a setting to fix this, or is
bug?

Also entourage is setting all my messages to "read" on the pop server.
Any ideas?

thanks
Joel

The time you download the message into Entourage is the time you are
receiving it according to Entourage. They are the same.

You may be more interested in showing the "Sent" time instead.
Right-click or Control + click your column headers in Entourage and you
can select/deselect those pieces of information you'd prefer to see.

That's the nature of POP when leaving messages on the server. You're
expecting Entourage and your Yahoo account to be synchronized but POP is
a download and delete protocol with the option to leave messages on the
server. That's about the extent of its options.

You might see if Yahoo offers IMAP access. Changes to messages in
Entourage would then be reflected on the server and vice versa.

Hope this helps! bill
