Outlook--Received Time is Wrong 1

[weigoldk]

Everyone we have set up with Outlook using Exchange 5.5 is in the same time zone. On some of our computers (Outlook 2000 and XP), UserA will send UserB a message a 8:00 a.m.--In UserB's Inbox, it shows the message as arriving at 7:00 a.m.

UserB might be sitting at his computer when the message comes in and notes that it is indeed 8:00 a.m. on his computer when it "physically" arrives in the inbox.

Furthermore, going back to UserA's computer, we can verify that the message was sent at 8:00 a.m.

Check the time setting on the Exchange server.

The time on the Exchange server is correct.

You have checked the Time Zones, but is everyone set up for "Daylight Savings Time?" This can make a big difference. I have found that if you don't set the PC to automatically adjust, things get a bit strange, just like you are describing.

Thanks Tom. That was exactly the issue.
