when i receive email or if I send email the date on my outlook is always wrong. Has anyone heard of this before and if so how can I fix it thanks.

Err, is the date on your computer correct? I guess so.

Have you checked the date on your mailserver though - your mail proably pick the date up from that.

the date on the server is correct to and I still dont know why its producing that date

If it's an even number of hours off, your PC may have the wrong time zone selected.

Like Dan says, perhaps working out 'how wrong' the date is might give you a clue. Is it consistently wrong?

Also, have you looked at the headers on the emails? You can track the progress of a mail through various servers (mine for example goes from my excahnge server, to our ISP server and then on to the recipients ISP/mailserver). You might see something there could it be your ISP, assuming there is one.

That s were the problem is its in the header each time that person send s or receive the date is off. As for the server it has the correct time , everyone on the network has the correct date except for that user.

If the dates are wrong as well, I've seen the "short date format" in Windows cause very odd dates. I don't remember the particulars because it was pre-Y2K.

Are they consistently off on that machine?

Are they always off by the same amount?
