Daylight Savings Time Problem

I'm using OE6 with Win2000Prof.

At the last time change, I updated the time on the PC. Outgoing email =
shows the same time as on the PC, but incoming email shows standard =
time. Any way to correct the time on the incoming email? I notice on =
other folks' mail where they have replied to other email, that the email =
they copied has daylight time but their email shows std time - hence I'm =
thinking this is a setting on my end to change.

Thanks in advance.

Is the machine fully patched at Windows Update? If it was and you had the
"Automatically adjust for DST" option enabled, you shouldn't have had to
adjust anything when DST came into effect. This also assumes your date,
time, and time zone settings were correct at 02:00 local time on 09 Mar-08.

DST Support Center
http://support.microsoft.com/gp/cp_dst

Check-in at the DST Support Center and see if the machine's missing any
DST-related updates. If everything's OK on your end, the problem is on the
mailserver's end. (I've seen several instances of this since DST began on
09 Mar-08.)

See my "Did MS release a time zone update in the past?" thread. Maybe
related?

<doh> Oops, you're right & thanks. I forgot that there were no DST updates
from MS for Win2K.
