What does received mean on aol mail
A blast from the past!
On AOL Mail, "Received" refers to the date and time when an email was delivered to your AOL Mail inbox. It's also known as the "Delivery Date" or "Arrival Time".
When you check your AOL Mail inbox, you'll see a list of emails with various columns, including:
- From: The sender's email address
- Subject: The subject line of the email
- Date: The date the email was sent
- Received: The date and time the email was delivered to your inbox
The "Received" column shows the date and time when AOL's servers received the email from the sender's email server. This can be different from the "Date" column, which shows the date the email was sent by the sender.
For example, if you sent an email to a friend on January 1st, 2023, at 10:00 AM, the "Date" column would show January 1st, 2023, as the date the email was sent. However, the "Received" column might show a later date and time, such as January 1st, 2023, at 10:30 AM, if there was a delay in delivering the email to your inbox.
So, in summary, the "Received" column on AOL Mail indicates when your email account received the email, which may not necessarily be the same as when the email was sent.
