Ever since I adjusted the clock on my PC, which is now the correct
DST time... The TIME in my OUTLOOK EXPRESS seems to be off by an hour. Any mail that I receive, which is a POP3 account with my ISP (peoplePC)... gives the time an hour off. Are the times for mail in OE server generated or something to do with the settings on my PC? Like I said, my PC clock is accurate but all of my email times are off by an hour. Thanks DAVID |

Are you using XP/SP2? If so, it appears that you missed this patch that was
available at Windows Updates. February 2007 cumulative time zone update for Microsoft Windows operating systems: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=931836 Set your time to what it was before and then download the patch. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express ~IB-CA~ wrote in message oups.com...

If it's the received times, it's likely that your ISP's mail server has
not been adjusted for DST. The received times come from your ISP's mail server and then OE adjusts them for display based on your current time zone settings. 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. -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm wrote in message oups.com...
