When I send a mail to someone at e.g. 1600h. The recipient reads as
"sent"-time: 1.35AM the next day. I am puzzled! How can this happen, and how
can I correct this?
Kind regards,
Willem

Check your Time Zone settings in Control Panel.

What mail program is the recipient using? And where are they seeing the
time?

Each mail messages has multiple time stamps. You can see these in the
Message Source or message header.

Some mail programs show a Received Time, which is when the message was
received by their ISP's mail server. The server supplies the time.
This is the first of possibly several "Received:" lines in the message
header.

Some mail programs show the Sent Time, which is from the sender's PC and
generally reflects when he wrote the message, not when he transmitted
it. (For some mail clients, this may be the time the message was sent.
I believe Eudora does this. For OE it is when the message entered the
Outbox.) The time comes from his PC. This is the "Date:" line in the
message header.

Some mail programs show both in different areas of the program. (OE
shows the Received time in the message list but the Sent time when you
open a message in its own window or print it.)

The time stamps include a time zone code as either an offset from GMT
(e.g. -0800) or a character code (e.g. PST). Many mail programs attempt
to adjust displayed times to your local time. If it doesn't recognize a
time zone in a time stamp, it may be treated as GMT or it may be treated
as your local time zone.

For Win95 and newer, look in Control Panel, Date/Time. This applies to
most 32-bit mail programs. For 16-bit mail programs on any version of
Windows, the program may have a configuration setting for the time zone,
or may use an Environment variable set in AUTOEXEC.BAT. For more
information, see: http://www.ufaq.org/navcom/settz.html

Due to incorrect clock settings and time zones (either sender's PC,
recipient's PC or mail server) and improperly formatted time stamps (a
number of servers ignore the Internet standards), the displayed times
may or may not be accurate.

Both you and your recipients should check that the time zones are set
correctly. And that your time is properly set. And tick Tools, Options,
Send, Send messages immediately checkbox. And are they in a different time
zone to yourself?
