    Apologies but always wondered when you send / save a draft of an email, what source does it get the time stamp from?? Is it the time that you have set for your system, or is it internet time?

    Sorry again if its a no-brainer but something i've always scratched my head over!

    Would it not depend on whether your mail account was web-based (hotmail , etc) or PC based (outlook , etc) ?

    Indeed. It also depends on what your client set up is. Mails sent through Exchange from outlook get stamped by the server. Mails sent through SMTP from outlook, get stamped by outlook.

    A mail may also get stamped multiple times as passes from server to server - when each server receives the mail, it adds a header showing that it received the mail, who it received it from and what time it was received.

    Some mail clients will read all of these - Outlook for example maintains at least two - the "Sent" time (the time that the sender's mail client stamped it) and the "Received" time (the time that the recipient's mail server got the mail).
