Email help

[Fonzy]

Hi guys.

Is it possible to check exactly what time an email was sent on Gmail?

My gf is working on the yachts and travelling all over Europe, using different sources to check her email, wifi cafe's, her phone, her Ipad etcetcetc.

She received an email from her boss that she got late last night. According to him he sent it early in the morning, but she only received it last night.

Is there a way to check exactly what time HE sent the email? Without worrying about time difference's etc, basically the time that he pressed "send". This might cost her her job.

Thanks in advance

In Gmail. Open the mail and click on the marker with the drop down options. Click Show Original. It will show the message including the Header data. Look for the handshake part, where the message was received from his server to Gmail. It should show a date and time.

Hmmmm, I don't see anything that says handshake, pretty much just lots of random numbers and stuff.

I didn't say it says handshake. Read the first part to see where the 'handshake' was made. Check to see when the email was accepted and retreived. Use common sense.

Sorry for wasting your time teraside.

I am just in a huge rush, and a flat panic to get this sorted.

Here is what I see from her message and his response : http://imageshack.us/f/585/emailum.jpg/

Would you mind having a look and looking if you can see the times of these messages?

There's a GMail Lab to display senders timezone, maybe that's your problem.

Dude, just after the <to> field there suppose to be a date.
EG:

To: "xxxxx"
<[email protected]>
Date: 6 May 2012 10:06:38 -0400

I received this mail @ 4 PM today (SAST), however on the mail it shows 10:06 -0400
So, if you go to http://www.timezoneconverter.com/cgi-bin/tzc.tzc

You can convert the 10:06 -0400 to GMT +2 (SA Time)

Sun 6 May 2012 10:19 -7 (PDT)

Add 9 hours onto the time 10:19 (-7 hours from GMT and SA is GMT+2) which is 19:19 our time.
