Default Incorrect O. E. TIMESTAMPS....?

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.

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.
