That's right, it is the time the message was saved to your local disk
by The Bat!. Another way of thinking of it is, for incoming messages,
the time you save them to disk is the time you *receive* them from the
server. But that doesn't make much sense for the sent folder since
you never received those messages from anywhere. So The Bat! *calls*
the Received field the Saved field. There is no difference. (See also
the recent thread about Parked messages vs. Drafts in your outbox)

Since the two words are really synonyms in this context, I don't see
why they should have both names. Having said that, I don't understand
exactly why the name received is even used. I think saved is more
clear considering how the Bat interprets this field. Personally, I
think Received should be when the mail server received the message,
but I understand that The Bat is being literal, so this would be
inconsistent.
