Vista - Date and time errors in Windows Mail

My mail seems to register itself in the US, yet I'm in Australia. The dates
sent/received are always wrong, I can even send things on tomorrow's date.
How can I correct this? The PC time is OK, just the mail

The time stamp on emails needs two pieces of information:
the correct local time, and the time zone you are in. It sounds like you
have the wrong time zone. Right-click on your time display, select
Adjust Date/Time, Change time zone. After changing the time zone
you will have to correct the clock time.

Hi Gary, I have the same problembeing that the displayed time in the full
view of my mailbox before I open the email is hours earlier than the actual
time the message was sent. I can view the correct time when I open the
email, and delivery is also delayed by hours depite setting the automatic
check to 10 minutes interval. My laptop time is correct, with time zone
correct, and automatic update of the time as well. Any ideas?

Hi, oake55.

Messages posted via the web interface are always shown in Microsoft time..
That is, at GMT -0700, the US Pacific time zone, which is correct for
Redmond, Washington, where Microsoft's home office is. (Or at -0800 when
Redmond is not on Daylight Saving Time.)

The time stamp on your post is:
Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2009 06:22:01 -0700

It shows in MY WLMail Sent column as 4/16/2009 8:22 AM - because I'm in
Texas, in the Central time zone, GMT -0500.

Both times are correct - when viewed through the proper hourglass. :^}

Messages posted with Windows Mail or Windows Live Mail or Outlook Express -
or another newsreader - will show the actual time, based on the sender's
system clock and time zone setting.

Where (in the world) are you, oake55?

I'm a bit confused by your problem statement. I don't know what is meant by
"full view". Are you saying that the time stamp of a message as shown in the
message list pane is different ("hours earlier") from the time stamp it displays
when you open the message? That seems very strange.
I don't how to jibe your mention of "hours earlier" with "delayed by hours".

I am not able to verify your computer's time zone setting since you posted
via the web interface. Are you able to post to this newsgroup via the
"Microsoft Communities" in your Windows Mail? That would allow me
to check your settings.

Sydney, Australia. And I am using Windows Mail - hence the posting to this
community. Let me know if you need anything more please. I am baffled.

It's not a question of what I need. YOU are the one with a problem and
we're just trying to help you solve it. ;^}

What is your Time Zone setting?

As Gary said, click the clock in the lower right corner of your screen. It
should pop up a window showing your current time. At the bottom there is a
line that says, "Change date and time settings" (or something similar; I'm
using Win7). Click this and in the next window, click Change time zone...
On the drop-down menu, scroll way down to "Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney", UTC
+1000. Then click OK to go back to the Date and Time display and make sure
it shows the correct time where you are, then OK your way back to the
Desktop.

If you have further problems, click here:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...ows.vista.mail

That click should start Windows Mail and connect you to this same Newsgroup,
but using the newsreader interface, rather than the web-based interface.
Find THIS thread and this message. Then Reply to the Group (Ctrl+G) and
type a message to us and Send it. In your message, please tell us what time
it is in Sydney then. This way, we will be able to read the header codes on
your post and see the time settings on your machine.

Many of us regulars here much prefer the newsreader to the GUI interface.
Try it for a day or two. You might like it better, too. ;<)

I can't reply in Communities since when I try it comes up with an email
address that is @NoMail.Invalid.

Here is the message I tried to post.

I am saying the message time in the list pane view shows a time hours
earlier than the time it was actually sent. I have asked the sender what time
they sent it to confirm and know that some were sent during working hours yet
show 1 or 2 am as delivery time.
I am also saying that delivery is delayed by several hours, not always, but
regularly. Again I have checked with people to confirm.
I am also saying that when you open the message it shows an accurate time
stamp
for when it was actually sent.
My date and timezones are correct on the laptop - so I am really confused.

I agree it is strange.

It is 6.06pm, and the time zone settings were already right.

I appreciate your help, and I was not trying to be awkward, I meant whatever
else do you need to help me solve this.
