For Yahoo email incorrect time stamp: To fix time zone go to Account Info. Then to Member Info. Under Member details it asks for your time zone. I will fix it immediately!!!

Time on PC "drifts" exactly 6 minutes. If I sync using MS, 6 minutes off. If I use the other time server, will fix the time.
What's going on? How come MS time server off by 6 minutes?
Thanks

My att email is fine, my computer time & time zone are fine, but my new q.com (qwest) email is 5 hours off.The tabs that you show aren't there to click(no options button, no personal button & no profile button or anything similar).How do I fix it?

Thank you for this posting. I have been going nuts trying to figure out how my pc time was off by exactly 3 hours every time I have to reset it. After a hard drive crash and replacement I had to reset everything and that was the little wonder I missed.

my time stamp in my hotmail is still wrong. been a hotmail user since 1997 but i think ever since they moved it to windows live, the time stamp got messed up with. i've gone to the manage my account section and chose the right location (manila) but there were only these choices: manila in the USA, Mexico and plain manila. the profile recognizes that i'm from the philippines, but still my time stamp is wrong :o( hope you can help (bec. microsoft help isn't really helping! :o( ) thanks!

correct your computer timing settings:
time zone
time update
current time

if still the problem is not alleivated then change the time zone settings in your mail account info.that would certainly solve your problem.

Hello, I currently am running a 16 bit application on Windows XP. When I intially start the 16 bit program the time is displayed properly. When I login into the server the time on my application changes to 3 hours behind..exactly. Any thoughts....

Thank you, this fixed a problem I've been having for years. This corrected the time stamps on my incoming and outgoing emails through hotmail's web access.

My settings are all correct like stated above in he directions, however my email is still 1 hour behind. This is an AOL email address. Any help would be great.
