Problem you are trying to solve
On some occasions, you will be getting several messages in a day which have the exact same topic title. With only the date as a distinguisher, it is sometimes very hard to identify the mail you're looking for.
Suggested solution
It would be great if the overview could always show the time the mail was received, regardless of the date. Similarly, I'd prefer K-9 to consistently show the date instead of displaying "Mo" for a mail that was received six days ago (I'm sure this was done with the best of intentions, but it really makes things more complicated).
Of course, displaying this information could be optional.

Research direction
Start at the message overview entry point and locate the code that formats received dates and times, along with any related display settings. Done means the overview can show the exact received time, uses a consistent date instead of weekday abbreviations, and supports the requested optional behavior.
