Does anyone know where Outlook pulls the Received Date/Time stamp for
e-mails? I would assume this would come from the header information
from the e-mail message, but it doesn't match what is in the actual
e-mail header.

I think it does pull it from the header and adjusts the time based on time
zone.

I would agree with you, but it doesn't seem to be the case. Below is a
header from an e-mail. I have removed only addresses and left the times
in. When this message is opened in Outlook, it lists the Received time
as July 31, 2005 at 04:37.

This is on a Mac, judging from the reference to Entourage. Is the Mac's
time set correctly in all regards?

No, this is on a PC. The message was routed through an Exchange server
that has Entourage plugins available.
 
How are you collecting the mail? Outlook will use the time it gets the mail
with some servers - especially imap servers - if it doesn't find a readable
x-header.
