In Mail there are two primary views. The default layout and the "Use Column View".

Default Layout:

Column View:

Click View menu then ensure "Show Date and Time" is checked
Right-click on the column headings bar and you can select the columns you wish to show
Make sure "Date Received" is shown in the Inbox view and "Date Sent" is shown in the Sent view

Date & Time formats:

System Preferences -> Date & Time -> Date & Time tab -> Open Language & Region -> General tab -> Advanced button
Look at the Dates and Times tabs and you can adjust the formats
In the General Tab you can define the Region which changes the format of date & time layout
In the USA MM/DD/YY
In the some countries DD/MM/YY
You should be able to define the formats on the Dates / Times here.
