Flag completed time not showing
In Outlook 2003 when an item was flagged, and subsequently marked Complete, the email would show the date and time it was de-flagged and marked as complete. In Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2010, it is only showing the date.
How do I get it to show both the completed date and time again?
You cannot change that flagging behavior and I’m not sure why the Outlook Team has changed that behavior in Outlook 2007 and it is still the same in Outlook 2010.

Adding the Flag Completed Date column
What you can do is adding the "Flag Completed Date" column to your view and customize the date layout for that column to include both the date and the
time. Now when you hover on a message, you'll see a tooltip popping up with the date and time when it got marked as completed.
