What I did was take the timezone information from tm_gmtoffset (BSD & GNU extension of the tm struct). This seemed to work very well, until someone in Australia mentioned that he got the wrong timezone, +1100 instead of +1000. +1100 is his daylight savings time. It's currently is winter in Australia, so no DST there now! There must be something wrong with my code... Anyone who knows something about this, please take a look at the date_sql2imap() function in imaputil.c Ilja
