SYMPTOMS

The preview time in Outlook Express is changed by one hour when there is a change in Daylight Saving Time.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because the Received Time column uses Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). GMT does not change with a change in Daylight Saving Time.

WORKAROUND

The original time is still available by right-clicking the message, and then clicking Properties. The time shown in the message's properties is the e-mail header time recorded by the e-mail server; it is not affected.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
