Thanks Ken for your response.

I think the issue could be in Outlook client in respect to the day-
light savings.

When I create the message, I can see in VS object inspector (after the
date set) the correct date time, but in Outlook client the time shows
in-correct. If I un-check the Date & Time Properties - "Automatically
adjust clock for daylight savings changes" all date time shows
correctly.

To give you an example:

Step 1. Create two messages with the following code. Both message time
set to 10.37am but two different date.
- Message1 date: 04-April-03 10.37am
- Message2 date: 06-April-03 10.37am

code
// Message 1: 04-April-03 10.37am
RDOMail msg1 = rdoFolder.Items.Add("IPM.Note") as RDOMail;
");
DateTime date = new DateTime(2003, 04, 04, 10, 37, 0, 0,
DateTimeKind.Utc);
msg1.Subject = string.Format("Message1 : {0}", date.ToString());
msg1.ReceivedTime = date;
msg1.Save();


// Message 2: 06-April-03 10.37am
RDOMail msg2 = rdoFolder.Items.Add("IPM.Note") as RDOMail;
");
DateTime date2 = new DateTime(2003, 04, 06, 10, 37, 0, 0,
DateTimeKind.Utc);
msg2.Subject = string.Format("Message2 : {0}", date2.ToString());
msg2.ReceivedTime = date2;
msg2.Save();
/code

Step 2:
- Time zone: GMT +10 time zone (Sydney)
- Check "Automatically adjust clock for daylight savings changes"
checkbox
- Message 1 shows in Outlook client 11.37am
- Message 2 shows in Outlook client 10.37am

Results: Shows in-correct time for Message 1 (offset by an hour)


Step 3:
- Un-check "Automatically adjust clock for daylight savings changes"
checkbox
- Message 1 shows in Outlook client 10.37am
- Message 2 shows in Outlook client 10.37am

Results: Shows correct time for both messages


In both occasion, using Outlook Spy - ReceivedTime shows 11:37 AM,
4/04/2003.

I don't understand why the Message1 add an hour when "Automatically
adjust clock for daylight savings changes" checked where the Message 2
shows correct time regarless of the daylight savings auto adjust
checkbox

Thanks again for the advice.
