Summary: If the time on your Windows Live Hotmail messages is wrong by hours, it's likely because you have the wrong time zone selected. We'll fix that.
The time on my outgoing mail is wrong, and I can't find the time zone setting after the latest round of Windows Live Hotmail changes. Where do I change it.
•
The location of the time zone setting has moved, along with a few other things.
I'll walk you through resetting it.
•
Like many of these settings, once you've logged in, click on the Options link:
Then click on the More Options item:
And on the resulting page, click on View and edit your personal information:
Click on the Registered Information link:
On the resulting page, along with various other details you set up when you registered your Hotmail account, is the time zone setting:
Make sure that it's set correctly to ensure that Windows Live Hotmail places the correct time on your outgoing mails.

Why is the time on my email wrong? Email is time stamped by the program that creates it. Normally Window's time, date and time zone are used. Web services, however, need a little more.

Why is my PC's clock wrong? Your PC's clock is probably good, but not great. Left uncorrected it can drift and lose accuracy. There's an internet service for that.

Posted by: Kathy at December 28, 2009 6:01 PMPerfect. Hotmail is one of the most user-unfriendly things out there. I spent a fair amount of time trying to find this out until I found your page.
Posted by: Jorge at January 18, 2010 3:33 PMWow! Done at last! Thank you so much. I've been breaking my head over this problem for ages. And their `Help' is totally useless.
Must tell you though, that once I pressed SAVE or whatever that was, it went into some sort of a trance. I closed it, without signing out, then opened it again, no change, then signed out, then opened it again and VOILA, twas done.
Thanks again.
By the way, WHAT ARTICLE ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? I've spent 5 minutes trying to look for what you want me to read. If you mean the instructions on how to change the time zone, then please don't call it an article.
