Incorrect Timestamp on Emails

Teligent,

Is your email provider using Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) or Universal Time Code (UTC) on their mail server perhaps? (Which is 4 hours ahead of Eastern Daylight Time, 5 hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time)

If so, the time you are seeing may be the time stamp placed on the email by the server, and the iPhone hasn't adjusted it for your timezone yet.

Hope this helps,

Teligent,

Look at the full headers in outlook of messages received from email, not just other Exchange users.

What is the time stamp info in the headers?

Teligent,

When you are looking at the message in the inbox list, it is reading the time from the message header, it might not have been adjusted for your time zone.

However, I was curious if you look on Outlook, at the full headers of a message, most programs hide about 90% of the headers in a message.

For example, there will be typically 3 or more lines that start with "Received from" and include a time stamp. For example a timestamp might look like this: Thu, 19 Jul 2007 06:00:39 -0700 (PDT)

Those timestamps are set by the server you are downloading from, and then are adjusted to local time after the messages are received. I had suggested looking at the full headers to try and determine which time zone your server was stamping messages with. In the above example its PDT or Pacific Daylight Time.

Hope this helps,
