I just tried this with both the debian and the appimage version, and
saw no difference in behaviour: while attempting delivery linphone
shows an orange dotted circle rotating clockwise.  When delivery was
not acknowledged a red disc with a white exclamation point is shown.
Clicking on it triggers a redelivery attempt.  For successful
delivery, no icon is shown, but hovering with the mouse brings up a
popup "Delivered".  If you see different behaviour could you provide a
cropped screenshot to show it?

It could be that the behaviour is different if the used SIP proxy
(e.g. linphone.org) handles the message delivery on behalf of
linphone.

I cannot reproduce this (TZ: +01:00).  The date I see is the date on
which I sent the messages.  What timezone are your chat partners
residing in?  What is the local time-of-day is the first message for
that date?  If it's an issue due to timezones it will be somewhat
difficult to track down.
