Outlook Inbox Received Time Wrong 1

[cathee]

Howdie, the Received Time in my Outlook Office 2003 is incorrect. It says I'm receiving stuff an hour in the future. My computer clock is correct. The Daylight Savings Time button is checked. My timezone is correct.

Every morning, my event viewer says "1097 The clocks on the client and server machines are skewed".

We are a small office of 5 and were set up by an outside vendor, no internal IT person =(

Any suggestions? Please speak in layman terms.

Assuming that you're using Windows XP, double click the clock in the taskbar and check the Internet Time tab. Is there anything of interest there? Could the mail server's time/timezone be incorrect?

i would say it is the server with the time wrong as well

Outlook 2003 is displaying the wrong times. It's like it didn't change for daylight savings.

My PC and email server have the correct time, and when i open my mailbox in Outlook 2000 on my laptop, the correct time appears.

This leads me to believe that it is an Outlook 2003 problem and not the server.

Time Zone?

I have the same problem except I'm using Outlook 2000. So it isn't specific to 2003. But when receiving email from the office, everyone's email times come in correct apart from one person who, like you said, is an hour in the future. Time is correct on her clock and in the correct time zone. Same with mine. Wouldn't think it would be the email server since this person uses the same server as everyone else in the office. Bizarre.

Did you ever figure it out, cathee?

Hi ArtGuy,
No, it's still happening. I tried all of the suggestions. Our clocks and timezones are fine. The Internet Tab time was correct also.
Here's a crazy example: I just rec'd an email that when opened, says 9:17am which is correct (and we are in the same time zone). But the "Received" time in the Inbox header says 9:07am! Before the time change, an interal email Sent at 5:12pm and rec'd by me at 5:05pm (same day!).

I'll double check the server info again. -Cathee

Mine are acting very similar. It's only one persons emails that I've noticed and I've checked her computer and have it syncing with a time server, but it is usually around 20 minutes ahead of me. Now, with the time change it's an hour and 20 minutes ahead. When I get into the office on Mon. I'm going to have to check her settings and the mail server again as well.

Thanks for the response. Good luck. I will post anything here if I ever get it cleared up.

Hi Polisbeergod,

How did you fix your Outlook 2003 problem: "Outlook 2003 is displaying the wrong times. It's like it didn't change for daylight savings."

My system clock is fine, and has the same timezone as Outlook, but Outlook reports a different time. Furthermore, Daylight Savings Time does not want to "stick", even though it says it has "stuck".

I have the same problem, and our IT cannot sort it out. I NEED HELP!!!!
