Same here, after 100 years dealing with the wrong time, it now works. Asking MSN to help is like talking to the wall.

Wow! I don't have to go crazy about the time now. I can't believe it was this easy. Thank you so much, you've saved me so much time!!

Thank you so much. It worked!!

I read your article about my time on my computer was one thing, but my incoming time on my e-mail was 5 hours off. I was able to change my time so it reads the same. This has been bothering us for a long time. Thank you so much for your answer.

The instructions above did not coincide with the options on my hotmail screen. My e-mail is off by 7 hours. Obviously it is a time zone setting in my email. Can you help?

When I double click on the time The clock comes up but not Internet Time. Only date and time and time zone. Is ther another way to fix this?

Hi Leo,
I read the article but still I need your help regarding setting my Yahoo time properly, because it drives me crazy and it affects my work because sending important documents is always noted with the wrong timing.
I am a yahoo user. I followed your advices on all but something is wrong still. I am located in Cairo, so my timing should be GMT+2. As I tested sending an email from the Classical yahoo interface, the timing shows as only GTM, which is to hours earlier, although my computer is properly time set and I made sure to edit this in my email account info as well.
Funnier still is that when I switched to the new yahoo interface (looking like the outlook), the timing shown in that of the US, which is entirely a day earlier than me with a difference of 7 hours back!! this is horrible! I tried it all, and when I send important messages needing immediate attention, people get confused as to when I sent them.
Can you please help?
thanks
Radwa
