Time display in mail folders is incorrect

[quote user="Sharkfin"]

The difference between the 5 hour GMT difference and the 4 hours on your e-mails may be due to a Daylight Saving setting. I think there was a recent Windows Update which corrected some daylight saving issues.

If I were you I would double-check your PC's timezone, daylight saving setting and the actual time-of day. Then, I would check that Pegasus is correctly set to pick up the right timezone too. That option is found in the Pegasus options, on the 'Advanced settings' page. Just tick the 'Auto' box. If you still see problems, try entering -0500 instead.

As for resetting all your folders to apply timezone correction, yes, I think you'll have to do them manually. Don't start unless you definitely can't fix the problem with the above ideas first!

Pegasus handles the 'summer time' change based on the CURRENT DATE, not the date that the email was sent,  This means that any email sent during the 'winter time' period will have its displayed time offset by one hour during the 'summer' months.  The opposite presumably happens for 'summer' mail viewed during 'winter' months.

This shouldn't be a difficult fix for the developers to make. Perhaps in Pegasus 4.6 or 5.0 perhaps?

I have Pegasus v4.41 . In my mail folders, the time displayed is off by 4 hours. An email that arrives at 7:30am displays as 11:30am. When you open the email, it shows the proper time. It happenss in all of my folders - new mail and all off the folders that I have created. How do I get this to display the proper time?

In the 'Messages' menu, there is an option called 'Apply timezone correction'. Make sure this is selected. The setting can be turned on or off for each folder.

The effect is to alter the listed time of the message so that you see a time local to you, even though it may have been sent from a different timezone.

The option was checked. I unchecked and it seems to have fixed the behaviour.

I am in the Eastern time zone, -5 hours from GMT, not sure why it would change it by four hours. It did it to emails that I sent myself as well.

Is there an easy way to change all my folders at once or do I need to change them one at a time?
