I think that what you are asking for is simply impossible :)
The Bat is a POP3 mail client (IMAP access is secondary, and
incomplete). The POP3 servers don't give to the client any kind of
indication of the time of arrival of the message. So there's simply no
way that The Bat! (or any other pop3 client) can show you that time.
As someone else told before in this thread, you could use regular
expressions to extract that time from the "Received" headers in the
message kludges, but I think that would be tricky, and you won't see the
result in the message list anyway.
You say that you have seen this functionality "in all mail clients
before TB". May I ask wich one?. I really don't think that can be
right.
Except (maybe) for the combination of Outlook and a hotmail.com
account: Outlook (when talking to hotmail servers) uses an access
protocol that is different from POP3, although for the user might seem
like a regular account. I wouldn't be surprised to see that Outlook
(in that case) shows the time of arrival to hotmail as the received
time of the message. But that's a proprietary protocol exclusive to
Microsoft, and no one else implements it.
