My computer is set to the correct time (in the system tray), but my
Outlook Express shows the time for receipt of emails (in the Received
column of the window) as exactly one hour earlier. How can I correct
the time in OE?

I have 2KPro, NOT XP.

Check that Windows is set to the correct time zone.

I'm sure you'll find that the date and time stamp is set by the sender's
computer. Thus if the email comes from this time zone, have a word with the
sender.

My Windows is set to the corrrect time zone. When we are on daylight
savings, do I just reset it to the time zone of a city which is an hour
later? And then reset back again to my own city in the Fall?

J.

No you go to control panel date/time and turn on the daylight savings
setting

Check that your system clock is set to the correct time zone. While the
time may show as "correct" if you have an inappropriate time zone shown, it
will show your messages as having the wrong info. If you are only asking
about incoming mail messages, the problem may well be on the sender's end
and you cannot fix that.

Is the correct Time Zone also set? Double click the time and check the
time zone tab.

Each mail messages has multiple time stamps. You can see these in File,
Properties, Details.

When you look at the list of messages in Microsoft IE3 Internet Mail or
IE4+ Outlook Express, the Received time is when the message was received
by your ISP's mail server. The server supplies the time. This is the
first (top most) of possibly several "Received:" lines in the message
header. Each mail server that a message passes through adds its own
Received line. These are in reverse order, so that the bottom most one
listed is the first server that received the message from the sender.

When you open or print a message, the time displayed is from the
sender's PC when he wrote the message, not necessarily when he
transmitted it (depends on the mail client). The time comes from his
PC. This is the "Date:" line in the message header.

The time stamps include a time zone code as either an offset from GMT
(e.g. -0800) or a character code (e.g. PST). The mail program attempts
to adjust displayed times to your local time. If it doesn't recognize a
time zone in a time stamp, it treats it as GMT. The mail program
recognizes the US time zone codes and GMT. Most others it doesn't.
Make sure you have the correct time zone setting on your PC. For
Windows look in Control Panel, Date/Time.

Due to incorrect clock settings and time zones and improperly formatted
time stamps (a number of servers ignore the Internet standards), the
displayed times may or may not be accurate.

Thank you for your very complete answer!

I had my time zone set to my city (Jerusalem), and had readjusted the time
manually on my system tray clock for daylight savings. Since the clock on my
computer was correct, I was surprised to see an email come into my Inbox with
the view pane displaying the Received time as an hour earlier than my clock.

So I guess that OE works from the time zone setting rather than the clock
setting?

I went to change the time zone setting to a city which is an hour later
since we are now on daylight savings. I put in Baghdad which is GMT+3 instead
of Jerusalem's +2, and found it gave me an option to have Daylight Savings
set automatically. When I set it to Jerusalem, I don't get that option, so I
reckon they only have it for certain cities. So I guess in the end I need to
set my timezone to a +3 city and make sure the daylight savings option is
unchecked---until the Fall.

Thanks! And also thanks again to Frank Sanders.

If you are interested enough
the tools/reskit folder of your win98cd contains a timezone editor with
which you can add the daylight savings setting for your timezone, not all
places had (or even have now) daylight saving in 1997/98 when the settings
were made
