Try this in your .gnus

(defun gnus-user-format-function-y (header)
   "Show Outlook-style dates in summary line"
   (or (ignore-errors

		    (- (time-to-seconds now) (time-to-seconds message-time))))
	       (if (< message-age (* 24 3600))
		   (format-time-string "%R" message-time)
		 (if (< message-age (* 7 (* 24 3600)))

       "????"))
