My date time stamps are incorrect for incoming mail only. Mail I have sent
from mutliple external servers are all coming in with date time stamps that
are nearly 24 hours out. Which end has the problem? How can I fix my end?

We are having this same exact problem enterprise-wide on Outlook 2002
Office edition.
The WinXP patch has been installed and tzmove was ran. However all
incoming emails are showing a timestamp of one hour earlier!

Anyone have a fix for this?
 
this is usually a server problem, not outlook. Contact the email admin.

I am the email admin - this is not a problem on the server level. I
have verified that all inbound and outbound emails are showing the
correct time on the server, but once they are downloaded to Outlook,
they are timestamped an hour earlier.
When is MS going to fix this?
 
They have to know why it's doing it before they can fix it - usually the
problem is the wrong time/TZ /DST setting on one of the systems and there is
nothing to fix on their end. We normally see a few instances of this each
spring and fall - but its worse this year since all systems need patched for
the new DST.

Did you install the DST updates on the servers? Is the DST setting enabled
on all computers?

Yes, the patch was applied to all servers and workstations (Win2003
and XP respectively). All systems are set for the same time zone and
set for DST. The issue is still on going.

As much as I like to pick on Microsoft, the timestamp in an email
message is placed there by the sending client. If that is incorrect,
then the client sending the messages has either incorrectly set their
clock, or their timezone is incorrect.

Here's the scenario:
A user (on the same mail system) with the XP patch and Outlook patch,
sends me an email at, say, 11:15am. If I log into the webmail
interface on my mail server, I see the email and it's timestamp of
11:15am. OK, everything's fine.
Now, if I go and open Outlook and download that message to my machine
(which has the XP patch and Outlook patch) the mail comes in showing
10:15am as the timestamp.

Can you paste the headers from the message here. To get the headers,
just right-click on the message and pick "Options." That will display a
window with the "Internet Headers" at the bottom.

I could relate to this. I just post a similar scenario. Except mine is 1
hour ahead. Our time zone is EST w/DST. When we download to Outlook, it
adds 1 hour.

XP-SP2 patch, Tzmove patch, servers patch all done. Login to webmail we
could see the correct date UNTIL download to Outlook; use 2002 version.

ONE more thing:

Just check the header on of the test mail, it is showing correct time stamp.
Until Outlook adds another hour to it.

Correct time: 2:44 PM EST. In Outlook it shows: 3:44PM EST.

the first stamps have the same time (14:4x) as the second set but the
offsets aren't the same - the second offset is correct. The time/TZ on the
first server needs adjusted for DST.

The problem that I am having with the date time stamp applies to multiple
servers in multiple time zones and countries. I am still thinking it is a
problem on this end - singular, rather than on the other ends - multiple.

Here are the headers on an email I just received. Both the sending
machine, mail server and my receiving machine all have the MS patch
installed. The user sent the email to me at 9:10AM, it showed 9:10AM
while it was on the server and it shows up in Outlook as 8:10AM.

Ok, here's something else odd, I looked at the date time properties on
my system - if I uncheck "Automatically adjust clock for DST" it
CHANGES all of the timestamps in Outlook on the emails to an hour
earlier, so now they are two hours earlier than the actual time sent.

I'm sure Dr. Brown would applaud MS's bending of the space-time
continuum, but this is driving me crazy.
