TB considers importing .msg/.eml files as receiving them. A better option might have been to either use the import wizard or to use unix mailbox as transition format, as the unix mailbox stores the the received time.

Unfortunately there is no way to have TB to use the top Received: header for the time/date in the received column. Maybe there is a third party tool that allows for this, but I wouldn't know any.

I recently switched to The Bat and imported a gazillion (give or take one or two) RFC-822 message files from my old e-mail client into gobs of folders.  I used the command line /BATCH and /IMPORT options because there was a lot to do.  The Recieved date and time was automatically set to the date and time of the import.  Now The Bat's default sort order for all those folders was Received Date/Time--useless with all those gazillion imports.  The workaround was to go reset the sort order for my gobs of (then) new folders to Creation Date/Time--one by one by hand.  Ugh.  Is there a better way to have done this.  I realize The Bat didn't know when my previous e-mail client recieved these messages.  But a better result would have set the Received time to the Created time--or perhaps the time in the top Received: header.  Is there a way I could have achieved this result?  Thanks in advance.  --JMNorris.
