Re: Sent time in emails returned by search
Hi Janos, I was wondering if you had time to think about this? Piler is working great for us so far, I think you have a great product here. Also, is it worth upgrading to the master branch? I could only find an OVA of that. Thanks!

I think that's it: /etc/timezone and TIMEZONE in config-site.php. Give me some time, and I figure it out tomorrow. It's 0:07 AM here, so my brain is in a bit of a reduced functionality :-) Janos
Re: Sent time in emails returned by search
You got an email from someone (probably me?) who's timezone is 7 hours ahead yours, that's why the Received line show 14:46, but the Date header (which is set by the sender) shows 21:46. There was a debate whether to use what is in the Date header or the actual server time when it's archived. Or it's possible that I misunderstand the whole thing, and you want me to fix the stored timestamp value extracted from the Date: header, and make + as -0700, ie. substract 7*3600 sec, because the 14:46 email shows up among the 21:46 emails even though it arrived much sooner. The Received line is from my Exchange server and 14:46 was the local time here when the message was received. Exchange uses UTC for the Date: timestamp in the header of all emails. I would like the search results in Piler to display messages in the local time of the server, regardless of what the Date: stamp has... Does this make sense? So if the sending mail server uses + (UTC), Piler would adjust for local time, say -0700 (Denver time) and display that... I cannot change the way Exchange stamps the Date to the messages. Piler would need to do the adjustment, not in the database, just in the web ui when it displays the messages. That way no matter what time zone the server is set to, Piler would display the messages with the local time. For example, If the message was stamped with -0500 (New York), piler would adjust by -0200 to get local time here in Denver. I think this is just a cosmetic thing, no need to alter the way messages are stored by piler. Hope this makes sense!

You have America/Denver both in the system and php settings, so it should be fine. However by reviewing your previous emails it's possible that piler is not involved in the issue. You showed me this email header: Received: from xxx.local ([172.17.96.22]) by xxx.local ([172.17.96.22]) with mapi id xxx; Thu, 21 Nov 2013 14:46:18 -0700 From: xxx To: xxx Subject: xxx Thread-Topic: xxx Thread-Index: xxx Date: Thu, 21 Nov 2013 21:46:17 + You got an email from someone (probably me?) who's timezone is 7 hours ahead yours, that's why the Received line show 14:46, but the Date header (which is set by the sender) shows 21:46.

I could only find an OVA of that. well, there are some minor new features, and bugfixes since the release of 0.1.24. Usually the master branch is stable enough to use it. I apply it to the demo site right after each new feature or fix to test it. But keep in mind that it's a development release. Anyway I consider the current master branch stable enough, and recommend you to use it. Janos
Re: Sent time in emails returned by search
I guess so. Just one last(?) question: where should this cosmetic fix happen? In the upper pane where year-month-day is displayed or in the lower pane where you can actually see the message, and the exact Date header is shown? I think it would be good in both places, but definitely in the lower pane where the message is displayed. Appreciate your attention on this!

Re: Sent time in emails returned by search
When viewing the email, the date header in the web interface shows: Date: Thu, 21 Nov 2013 21:46:17 + I would like it to match local (Denver) time, which would be UTC-7. The message header shows: Received: from xxx.local ([172.17.96.22]) by xxx.local ([172.17.96.22]) with mapi id xxx; Thu, 21 Nov 2013 14:46:18 -0700 From: xxx To: xxx Subject: xxx Thread-Topic: xxx Thread-Index: xxx Date: Thu, 21 Nov 2013 21:46:17 + On Thu, Nov 21, 2013 at 3:53 PM, Janos SUTO s...@acts.hu wrote: On 2013-11-21 23:51, Keith Moore wrote: Hi Janos, it is set as follows: $config['TIMEZONE'] = 'America/Denver'; ok.

Re: Sent time in emails returned by search
I believe so... and I am running the OVA. # date Thu Nov 21 16:02:04 MST 2013 #cat /etc/timezone America/Denver Is there some place else I need to change it?

If you have the OVA (not sure just assuming), then have you fixed the timezone settings of debian, too? Janos
