Poco User Interface FAQ - Date Format in Message Index

Poco User Interface FAQ - Date Format in Message Index

Q: For no apparent reason, my message index now lists dates in the European date order (dd/mm/yy) instead of the American order(mm/dd/yy). I've checked my Windows settings, and they haven't changed. I also looked for some option in Poco to set/change this and I couldn't find it.

What do I do to fix this?

 
A: look on the "Index" tab of the "Program Options" form (Shift+F7), it's the "Date format to be used in application and index" setting. Unfortunately you will have to compress your mailboxes after changing this in order to get it to work (there is a command on the "Mailbox" menu that will compress all your mailboxes).
