Hazem, In Exchange environment all user mailbox data is kept in the server by default. Does your user use any PST files to download all messages from server, or does the user use OST files to synchronize? Or does the user just access the mailbox from the server ? When you say the user reports the "email brought forward", can you explain a little more, brought from where to where ?

Please advise "Periyasamy, Raj" <Raj.Periyasamy@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: http://www.MSExchange.org/ Yes, it wil still show the exact modified date. The Modified date/time is always stamped in the message. By selecting the field to view you are just viewing what is already in the message. Same applies every other field. It is there, you just select what field you want see or hide. By deleting field, that data is not lost, but just hidden.

This will tell you when the changes occurred to the message if any after the message was received in the folder, or sent out by the user. Technically, it is possible to make such changes as an admin and save the messages. Your sent date/time or received date/time will not change in this case. Only the Modified date/time will be changed. To add the Modified field, use the Filed chooser, and select "date/time fields" option.

Please advise Chris Wall wrote: http://www.MSExchange.org/ Yes that is possible.... Does the recipient know the dates the e-mail was sent? If so, is deleted item retention turned on so that it can be recovered from deletion? If it is outside of the retention window (if enabled) have the admin restore the users mailbox in a test environment and recover the sent items. I would hope that you have good backups to recover...
