Sharon,
Under my Account is Preferences, then Time Display. which can be set to Relative ( ie 5
minutes ago) or Absolute (ie Jan 13, 2016, 4:47pm )
OK,
Tony

No. That is "5 minutes ago" - an example of relative time. It is not a control over time accuracy.
The feature is whether you want time displayed in a relative way ("an hour ago", "yesterday") when it is recent enough, or whether you always want to see the actual time displayed.
This control by the way is largely or entirely ignored, and Mark ought to remove it. He's settled on using abbreviated absolute time everywhere, with hover text showing the full date/time string.
Thank you, Shal for all the clarifications. I¡¯m setting up two detail projects ¡ª several conjoined
Groups.io and a time banking system. The number of boxes to check off on dozens of screens
numbs my brain.
I would eliminate this. I scrolled through my beyond full inbox a few days ago and all the
messages were for today, yesterday, two hours ago. To quote the date in my return message, I
had to figure out what it was. I don¡¯t think there is a setting in Apple Mail to turn this off but you
remind me to look.
Thanks again,
Sharon
