Several of my IMAP mail clients (Netscape Mail, Outlook Express, and
MacOS X Mail) are having a strange issue: their message columns are
reflecting a five-hour time  difference from the actual timestamp on
the incoming message. This error is not reflected in our WebMail
program (IMP).

- I've checked both the software and hardware clocks on the mail server
and both are set to the correct time (although the hwclock was
originally set incorrectly -- five hours BEHIND the correct time).

- I've checked to make sure that the server time zone is correct.

- All timestamps in the mail headers are correct, and the timestamps
display correctly in IMP, so this seems to be an IMAP/mail client
issue.

- The issue seems only to afflict NEW mail client installations -- that
is, mail clients installed since the mail server re-build in November
-- but I can't say for certain that this is the case.

Our build:

Debian linux 3.0r1
qmail 1.03-24
UW IMAP 2001adebian

TIA for any suggestions,

Danny O'Brien
