To change or adjust time, RIGHT click on the time in the Sys Tray (lower right) and then LEFT click on Adjust Date/Time.

The time in the Sys Tray is right!  It IS in Eastern Daylight Time.  It is ONLY the messages sent from Outlook Express that is the issue.  But I do appreciate your consideration.

Reading your post I initially thoughy day light savings time issue.

Tom,

 

Thanks for the link - the second one in particular.  BUT what do I do with this information?  I see no place in Outlook Express to make a change and suspect the Registry may have to be changed.  I have done that before but with much more information than I have been given in this link.  I definitely don't want to screw this person's computer up.  Can you give me some sort of clue about this?  It looks like "-04:00" is for my time zone.  But how in the world do I get it that way?

 

Thanks,

Bessie

The link focuses on the mail server itself,its simple,just change the time on the mail server. :smileyvery-happy:

 

Or,have you checked in "In Outlook, click the Tools menu and then click Options.......

Tom,

 

I suspect you are using Microsoft Outlook, not Outlook Express.  There is no "Calendar Options" in the Outlook Express "Options Menu".  The link you attached is for Microsoft Outlook. 

 

Thanks,

Bessie

Open "date & time properties">time zone tab>is it set for "GMT eastern time (us & canada)

I will look later this week when I go to where the computer in question is located.  I do assume it is because the time is right.  I suspect it would not be if the time zone were not correct. 

In case you are wondering, I did a clean install of Windows XP Media Edition 2005 on Saturday.  I did indicate the time zone properly when prompted - of that I am sure.  It only asked me one time.
