I have searched the forum for the answer but to no avail.
Why does my inbox show the received time of emails 8 hours behind the actual sent time, according to the email header (ctrl+F3)? And how do I change it? Lezza |

If you mean eight hours before it was sent, you or the sender has their clock set wrong. Frank Saunders, MS-MVP OE/WM Do not send mail. |

Yes, 8 hours before it was sent but for all emails, from anyone. My system clock is correct. Lezza |

Well, then the sender or his ISP is not correct. Frank Saunders, MS-MVP OE/WM Do not send mail. |

Lezza, Is your time zone set correctly? (I think all header times are set to GMT when sent and converted back to your time zone for display). The information in the header itself may actualy be in GMT with a time offset given just after it. Michael "Lezza"

Whoops, got that backwards. The sent time on this message should be 09:52 -04:00 (sent at 09:52 from my clock which is eastern time zone (-5hours) with daylight saving (+1hours) for -04:00 offset Michael "Michael"

I have the same problem as Leeza. My clock shows the correct local time, but even local emails show received 3 hours earlier. Where do I check/change the time zone of incoming messages? Don "Michael" wrote:

The header on your message shows sent time as 08:50:01 -0700 My system is Eastern time with daylight savings in effect (-0400) Therefore on my reader program (Windows Mail, Vista Home Premium) it shows a sent time of 08:50 + 0700 - 0400) or 11:50 AM, which is probably the correct time you sent by my machine, 08:50 on your machine. You don't change the time zone for incoming messages, that is placed there by the sender so that your mail reader can correct for local time. FYI this messages is being sent at 12:29 PM Michael "Don"

The reason all your incoming messages have a received time that is off by 8 hours is because your PC is set for the US eastern time zone, when physically you are in the UK. You need to correct your PC's time zone. Gary VanderMolen "Lezza"

OMG - how simple and stupid was the answer. Your all correct, some how the 'time zone' on my machine was set to Paciffic -8hrs but my system clock was set to GMT BST. WinMail uses the 'time zone to display the received email, not the local clock.
Michael - change your 'time zone' and then correct the time. Done mine and all the email times display correctly. Thanx everyone. Lezza |

Don, your headers indicate you reside on the East coast. Make sure your clock is set for that time zone: Right-click on the time, Adjust Date/Time. Chances are you have it set for the Pacific time zone. Gary VanderMolen "Don"

Hi, I'm also having trouble with time display. I'm in Los Angeles and when I email, for example, someone in my same area, it shows about an hour later than the time I sent it. I have also tried searching but can not find any help any where. Any suggestions? Thanks, CUL8RM8 "Lezza" wrote:

Check a few things to make sure they are set accurately for your location: BIOS clock Windows clock Timezone for Windows Timezone for Outlook The timezone setting seems to be the one that trips many up. Tim "cul8rm8"
