Send/Receive & Read Receipt Time Stamp Help!!!!

[Daisy]

I am SO Confused.

Do I need to change settings somewhere?

Scenario:

Office 2003.

I sent message at 10:02 am EST.
I received a Read Receipt at 9:15 AM EST (according to my outlook inbox).
Read Receipt details indicate my message was sent at 11:01 AM.
Read Receipt details indicate he read my message at 10:14 AM

The clock in my systray is accurate for EST. All email was sent to EST and
the recipient is not ona corporate server that could use a different time
zone.

Yahoo is my pop/smtp provider. Could this be why?

Can someone PLEASE help me understand this? It's driving me crazy and when I
need to record read receipt documentation, I'm not sure what to enter! Thank
you.

The explanation is that either your Outlook calendar clock DST setting isn't
accurate, your Windows clock DST setting is inaccurate, the recipient's
clock is inaccurate. or the server's clock is inaccurate. Time in SMTP
mailing is mutable and I don't believe it's wise to rely on it as a measure
of delivery.
