My messages that I'm receiving in OE are the wrong time received. It's OE 5.5, my computer clock is set right, but apparently my OE isn't abiding by it. Any ideas? Thanks.

you know I just tested another email,I sent it at 3:09pm today and just clicked send/recieve now at 8:15 pm and OE says I recieved it at 3:09 so that is the way OE works! you are probably ok.

Check your time zone!

The time that is displayed in OE next to the message is the time it arrived at your mail server I believe, not the time you downloaded it. So, all the times are when they arrived at the mail server, no need to worry.

AAF Striker, You are correct. The times are from the server.
