You need to set your timezone correctly. Evolution uses it to display/sort messages relative to local time always (helps a great deal when you work with people around the world, believe me).
Something like set /etc/localtime to a copy/link of the compiled timezone info in /usr/share/zoneinfo - tho this is probably distro dependent, and there's probably a tool to do it, e.g. "timeconfig" On Tue, 2003-03-11 at 02:19, Frank Reta wrote: > Hi all: > New to the listserve here.
