Does this mean that it could be a problem with my IMAP/SMTP and/or
POP3/SMTP email server providers?

I don't recall seeing this on messages in my sent folders, but have 
sometimes seen 1 January 1970 and found the message was missing the 
Date header. (I thought the server was supposed to add this if it was 
missing.)

I've also seen dates early enough to be obviously wrong, and checked 
the message headers to find it actually does say that date.

And I've seen anomalous "received" dates on imported messages.

Incorrect time stamps in *some* folders

[Melissa Reese]

Hello,

I'm having issues with time stamps being incorrect in some folders.
Sometimes it's in incoming folders (inbox and various sub-folders),
and sometimes it's in outgoing folders (sent and various
sub-folders).

I haven't gone through all of the hundreds of folders/sub-folders in
all accounts, but here's an example:

In my main account, I have "inbox" and "sent" folders for various
individuals.  I sent a few emails to one particular person today, and
in the "created" column, they're all listed as having been sent on 1
January, 1970.

I've seen anomalies such as this scattered all over, with some
incoming and sent messages even listed as having been created or
received in 1899!

The computer's time is set correctly.

Can anyone tell me why this happens?  And how to fix it?

Thanks!
