Outlook 2000 time stamp

[swest23]

I have changed the computer's time to the new DST. I even turned off the
ability to check for DST. Outlook ignores new time and stamps with time an
hour in the past. How do I force it to pay attention to the correct time?

Did you adjust the Outlook Calendar time zone as well?

 

[swest23]

Yes, I made sure to check the time zone and also to make sure a secondary
time zone wasn't active. It's very weird. Only the incoming messages are
stamped wrong. Outgoing ones show the correct time.

can you post the header from one of the messages that has the wrong time?

 

[Brian Tillman]

OK. This message shows in the Inbox as having been received at 2:42
PM. I have since discovered this problem exists in both 2000 and
2003 versions. Thanks for your help. Here is the header:

I sure hope you changed the mail addresses in those headers or you have just
guaranteed spam and virus attacks to them.

If the headers are examples of a received message, are you sure the sender
has correctly set the values in Thunderbird or his/her Windows system? It
looks to me like the Date header was supplied by the sending system. The
servers all show the correct time offset, but the Date field doesn't.

Yes, they are an example of a sent message. The time zone of -5 is correct.
We found out yesterday that our e-mail service's server is actually an hour
ahead (time zone -4) which does nothing, to me, to answer why Outlook is
posting at an hour behind, like it was time zone -6 (it's not, Outlook shows
-5). It's rather frustrating.

Yes, they are an example of a sent message. The time zone of -5 is
correct.

If you're in the Eastern time zone, -4 is currently correct.
