How to show times and dates in Outlook 2013 "received" column?

I upgraded to Outlook 2013, and missing the 2010 display of date and time in "received" column.
In 2013 it shows either time or date (for older emails), but not both.

Any idea how to restore to 2010 date and time view of the column?


  • Right click on the Received column header
  • Click View settings
  • Click Format columns
  • Choose Received from Available Fields
  • Pick the format you want.

  • Go to View tab Click on 'View Settings' button (second from the left)
  • Click 'Format Columns'
  • In 'Available Fields' on the left highlight 'Received'
  • From the 'Format' drop-down menu, choose how you want it displayed. I have Tue 8/12/2014 12:45 PM selected.
  • Click OK
  • Click OK again.

However, the answer by trpt4him does not allow you to show the seconds.
This SU answer shows a way to do show them.

  1. Create a new, custom column, as outlined here.
  2. Then use this formula: Format([Received],"yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss")
    This shows as:
