I have notived that with received emails the time recorded as sent on the email always appears wrong.

So I sent an email to myself test, and although the "sent" email records the correct time, the "received" email back to myself is around 9 hours out !

Haven't been able to locate the reason for this, or more importantly a fix for this problem. Have rechecked XP time/date settings and all appears OK.

Any suggestions or maybe can I find the help.

Is this on all incoming emails?

Take a look at this (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q174989/) mskb article

The behavior can occur if the time is not set correctly on:
• The mail server that sent the message.
• The mail server that received the message.
• Both the mail server that sent the message, and the mail server that received the message.
Also, this behavior can occur if the time is not set correctly, or is set correctly but an incorrect time zone has been selected.

Is the system clock and time zone on your machine set up correctly?
