What's the difference between "Received" & "Date" columns?

The entries in TB's "Received" and "Date" columns re usually the same; when they differ it's by no more than a few minutes. I'm wondering, what do these columns show exactly? Why do we need these two categories? It obviously has something to do with header lines, but I haven't been able to track this down.

one is the date the message is sent, the other the arrival time. Usually this is only a minute or two different these days, hours were not uncommon in the past and even now, Google for one, will try and deliver for a week. If your server goers down and it takes 5 days to fix, or the undersea cable gets blown up, you will get mail from google that is days old in the date column but as fresh as now in the received.

I only show the date. Right clicking the column headings allow you to customize what columns are shown

Well, then it would be a lot clearer if the label "Date" were "Date Sent".
