No Not Mandrake but Evolution. I have suffered this problem for some time and have been told that it is fixed in 1.5 Something as major as a time problem and the best offer is to wait for a future version. There has been talk about using a snapshot which has the correction, but I went down that road and it was a disaster. So many objects installed that were newer than the code in the snapshot. Maybe I just expect to much but I would have thought an obvious fault like time being 13 hours out would be easily fixed with a patch. Oh and it doesn't help that Ximian download mechanism does not support Mandrake 9.2. Guess they will fix that in a future also <g>

My answer would be, 'Yes.' And 'Can you state in so many words what the meaning is?' My answer to that would be, 'No.' Aaron Copland _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
