Your replies to messages come in hours after the thread has been
finished. This has nothing to do with timezones. I think you download
messages, type your replies, and then don't connect for a couple of
hours. Next time you connect (which may be 8 eight hours later, the
way I figure form the "created" time and the "received" time over
here), your reply gets sent but the problem is solved.
Suggestion: When you download and read the messages, reply immediately
and send your replies out right away.
OR: Draft your replies, and next time just collect mail the next time
you connect, check specifically for these threads, and if your replies
are still sensible, unpark (undraft) them and send them out before you
disconnect.

Sometimes the replies come in very quickly, and many to the same
original posting. Many users are online 24/7 and receive each posting
right away. In the office, I have period check every 10 minutes (or
so), so I reply right away, but within the next ten minutes someone
else might have replied already. That's life.
